Subject: Using a PMO-650 on *BSD UNIX?

I would like to use our PMO-650 (Pinnacle Magneto Optical disk) as a SCSI
device on 386BSD UNIX. I can use the PMO-650 with our OCU (Optical
Conversion Unit). This OCU offers a SCSI disk interface for the PMO-650.

I wondered if I can use the PMO-650 directly instead of via this OCU. I
know that the PMO-650 is supported on SUN's, SGI's and some other UNIX's.
Can somebody explain what I need to do in order to use it via my Adaptec
SCSI interface? 

Cheers,

--Piet
