The SCSI interface isn't exactly a standard SCSI interface; in fact I 
have never seen it work with anything but the TK50. And no, they don't 
all have it, only the ones with the expansion option. But you can 
probably cobble it together. Just open it up, it's pretty straightforward 
on the inside.

That's the beast! Is the system exerciser telling you you have one? 
Because it will look for it and return zeroes (I think) if it doesn't 
find it.

I have a spare VS2K that's just itching for an OS (my other one runs 
Ultrix 3.0). I'd like to help on the programming side, but I don't think 
I can commit the time.
