I'm interested in this unit also, especially if the on board SCSI and E-net has a full 32 bit address bus to memory. Does anyone know how to get technical documentation from IBM/AMBRA so that SCSI and network drivers can be written? I'll try to track something down on Monday from IBM, but a contact would be great. I remember a Kafka like experience trying to get technical information out of AT&T (aka "We're the Phone Company") once in my past.
