Yes, IOTech, inc., provides a (pricey) SCSI/IEEE488 interface box and  
software for the NeXT to interface with the bus.  We now have one in our  
lab, but haven't used it yet, so I can't tell you if/how well it works  
(though it looks reasonably well designed).  I can't provide the number  
right now to reach IOTech, but it is listed in the "NeXT Shipping Third  
Party Products" guide.

Hope it helps,
