I have 2 points to make on this topic.
1) Western Digital also makes a 506 to SCSI controller. The one we used
was WD1003A-SCS. I don't know if they make more. It has poor documentation
which caused us many hours of work trying to figure things out. You can
optionally purchase several books to go with the controller. You may want
to do this.
2) Ephraim Vishniac has written a standard SCSI driver which he has made
available. It is available by FTP from the INFO-MAC archives at sumex-aim 
and by using the TELL command through bitnet from MACSERVE@PUCC. You
need to get the file UTILITY-SCSI-FORMATTER-INSTALLER.HQX.2.    
If you have problems Ephraim can be contacted and is very helpful. Sorry, I
don't have his current email address.
