I wrote the software for it. The software provided permits the product to work in Initiator mode (as a Host adapter) or in target mode (i.e. as a peripheral device). There is no ROM or Flash on board so you would need a ROMTRAM (can't remember the B000 number) if you wanted to get it to boot up a transputer network. I did something like this for a customer who wanted to boot up an array of 500 trannies (yes 500!) via the SCSI TRAM connected to the SCSI port of a VaxStation. Regarding file system, I believe "TransDos" might have been ported to it using the guts of IMSF002 software.
