My advice is plan on using it just for computer storage.  In MONTHS of
watching comp.periphs.scsi, the closest thing I've seen is there is ONE
drive that purports to do this, and it's sold overseas.  Maybe in a few
years, the manufacturers will realize we'd like to do this, but for now,
it's effectively a no-go.
