I guess you mean accessing an scsi device via a programm, in that case  
yes. The actual unix device driver is supplied by NeXT.
There is example code supplied how to access scsi-devices, exspecially  
the CD-ROM.

Don't know since NeXTSTEP486 isn't out yet, but I'll guess not so  
different.

As far as I know there is no additional scsi-board avaiable for the  
NeXTcube, but with NeXTSTEP486 I would guess it's possible to put an  
second scsi-board in the PC.

Hope this helps
