    Yes we just received the first 8 prototype boards of our TAXI controller
board. TAXI stands for The Atari eXtended Interface. The TAXI board
will plug into the Mega's expansion slot, or be driven through the
Atari ACSI interface. Some of the features are:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Full Ethernet interface (thin is builtin, thick requires a transceiver
  box)
1 Full (true) SCSI interface independent of the Atari ACSI interface.
8 Full duplex serial lines (RS232-C compatible)
2 Centronics/parallel printer interface
1 MC68000 processor (when used as standalone configuration).
128K dual ported DRAM + 64/128K EPROM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This board can be incrementally configured as an Ethernet controller,
2-8 channels serial cross point switch; with or without parallel or
SCSI interface.
