Soren,

Forgive my ignorance on this matter, but what is actually required with the
HPC init.? is it just a case of looking at specific memory address's or am i
over simplifying matters here?

Steve

The ethernet interface is the same Seeq 80c03 as is used on the
motherboard and it should require no more than some basic HPC
initialization to work.

The SCSI interfaces would be rather harder, as the 33c95 seems
impossible to acquire actual documentation for, so unless someone
goes to the trouble of reverse-engineering some existing driver
for it, don't expect it to happen..
