	Heh, well unfortunately the 5500 has a double wammie support
problem. I haven't heard a lick about DSSI support on port-vax in some
months now, I can only assume that it has stopped. Last I heard there was
still debate as to wether DSSI was spoken on CI or MSCP or
something. AFAIK there is nothing for DSSI in port-vax or current, and
defnitely nothing for port-pmax.
	The other problem is that a PI Q bus driver hasn't been written in
to port-pmax yet. I don't think much can be done until someone moves it
over to pmax. If you attach some SCSI drives to it, it should be somewhat
useable though. I don't think pmax has SGEC ethernet support either. :(
Not that I'm saying no one would be interested, but as it stands, a remote
development system at this time won't be too helpful until some drivers
get ported over.
