There was a product sold by Transtech which allowed you to connect to a tram system via a scsi2 port the tram module was also sold as a scsi interface. So it would seem that if you get the software (source code of course) you could use any scsi tram to be an interface. pete p.s. looks like there is a few of us after the stuff from liverpool! I have an idea and will email everyone as a group. rmeenaks@olf.com wrote: > Hi, > > I got two INMOS SCSI trams which I am about to use. However, I have no > documentation whatsoever on these trams.
