	True, but it isn't yet operational for us to use.  Your idea is
	very likely workable.  Gene Dronek (Vulcan Labs) and Rich Morin
	(Canta Forda Computer Lab) have been developing a /dev/scsi
	implementation for several platforms, including A/UX.  It's
	been quite a while since we worked with them, but I think that
	idea's time may come soon.

	That's for sure.  Might work for some drivers, might be dicey.
