Ok, to push this insanely off topic rant back marginally on topic, how 
difficult would it be to create an XMI to PCI Nexus adapter? How about SBI 
to PCI? Q-bus to PCI? Even a limited subset?

We've talked about building Q-bus SCSI cards because they are so hard to 
find, but why not build a PCI bridge and then use the existing cards? I 
have NO IDEA how difficult this would be. One man year? 10? Impossible?
