Ahh, now I see what is happening.  How crude.  I was hoping something
really wierd like (they marketed scsi as dssi for hype reasons) might
be the case, so that if it was unsupported, a sub might be made, that
electrically could be made compatible.

I guess not.....

Where can I find out the protocol/hardware/elecrical specs for DSSI?
