Even better, you might call the SCSI BBS, which is run by NCR employees. 1-316-636-8700, 24 hrs., 3/12/2400 8N1. They have tons of files on the SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 standards. Most of the files are ZIPed WordStar files, but can be extracted using the ZIP utility that resides here (somewhere). Then, the files will need to be cleansed a bit (WordStar sets the high bit in the last char of every word, so a simple AND $7f on each char will cleanup the file enough that it is almost pure ASCII. Also, check out Byte magazine. Feb+Mar of 90 is a two-part SCSI article, and Steve Ciarcia had a two-part article on designing a SCSI interface based on the NCR 5380 chip (same as is in several commercial Amiga interfaces, and same as is in the Macs). That was May/June 86 Bytes. Finally, one of the Fish disks had a file about building your own SCSI interface, and you might want to track that down.
