[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] DNET/SCSI as serial port

michael@ewa.cs.ucla.edu (michael gersten) (05/11/91)

I have a C Ltd. SCSI board (non-kronus type) on my amiga. I want to
be able to talk to another computer (a NeXT) via SCSI, and I
want that connection to look like a serial port. I then want to
run DNET over that connection (DNET connects unix sockets to
amiga messge ports).

My question is: Can this be done? Has this been done? How would I
make my amiga end look like a serial port? How can I access the
SCSI bus from the NeXT end with the supplied software? (It is
not a block device, and the computers would probably be the
higher numbered devices on the bus).

For that matter, can the NeXT access more than 2 SCSI devices?
(I know the two lowest become the disk drives, but other than that?)

Please reply directly; I do not realiably receive news (too much of
it, too little time).
