It's also that the traffic of this small list has a bit moved to

If I remember right the SCSI of the box is the normal NCR SCSI 53C9x
hostadapter just like in the Mips Magnum 4000.

In fact there has even been worked on X support. We've got client libraries
(I did the work, lost it on a disk crash and Miguel reimplemented it ...
