OK, sounds good.  Is there an internal scsi output on the cpu card,  so
I can take output to internal disk drives (after all, the 12 slot case
can hold two in the top bay (4 3.5 inchers) plus tape (or CD), and
one could mount several on blank VME cards or the old metal case air
flow partitioners (darn, I threw most of mine away!).  Heck, with a
little metalwork, one could put a CD, a half height tape, and 4 HDs
easily in the thing, and have a fairly nice home server.

Thanks
