You may dowload the  SCSI-2  specifications (final  draft version, the 
release is copyrighted) from ftp.symbios/pub/standards/io/x3t10/....
and specifically note the processor device class (-the SCSI catch all)
as this is the SCSI way of saying "vendor specific, hands off." 

Then you can  get yourself  the manuals on  the AMD SCSI chips or the
NCR  chips (I do not recommend  making the  interface w/propriate  timing
yourself.)

And finally you must write the software.  If you intend to write this
under MS systems I wish you good luck.  The so calld architecture of these
systems are good-HW hostile...   May I recommend UN*X (Linux) or OS/2?

: Thanks!
