Does anyone know if I can use an IEEE-488  8 bit bus parallel
transfer standard on the NeXT?
Thanks,

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,

There is one SCSI/IEEE converter especially for NeXT made by IOtech. Another  
one is made by National Instruments which is cheaper ans seems tom be more  
sophisticated. However, they don't offer any NeXT software.
