Speaking of SCSI ethernet cards, does anybody know *where* I can find
these? I'm very interested in writing a MiNTnet-driver for such a
card, but can't find any! I know how to write a device-driver for
MiNTnet, I know how to access the SCSI-bus, all I need is a
ethernet-card with docs and some spare time.

Btw. I was thinking of using Steffen Engels' SCSI-driver for this, as
it provides one single (and easy to use) API for both ST ACSI and
TT/Falcon SCSI. Does anybody have a good reason *not* to use it? Are
there any problems with MiNT?
