My understanding is that this board uses more SCSI than the Atari
AHDI interface supports. Atari implements enough to allow Level 0 SCSI
and the ethernet board requires more intelligent SCSI, I think.
Anyway I don't think it's possible to use these ethernet<->SCSI boards
without hacking the AHDI hardware or at the very least buidling your
own SCSI adapter and designing a new protocol. Of course I could be
wrong.
Someone who might know more is Chris at BMS (bms@bdt).
