Is anyone familiar with a VL-BUS board that supports both e-net
and SCSI?  Requirements:

Full technical documentation available;
Known and helpful manufacturer;
Known and thrashed out chip sets;
Full 32 bit address path for both devices.

A driver for one of these boards would let you put together
a decent VL bus system with all popular DMA devices on the VL
bus on a two VL slot system (assuming graphics in the other slot).

I've noticed that JDR Microdevices advertises the MCT-VNSCSI for
$499.95.  This is manufactured by "Modular Circuit Technologies",
apparently the Taiwan company that does all of JDR's manufacturing.
This may not meet my "Known and helpful manufacturer" requirement.

I will contact JDR myself.  Does anyone have any experience with the
JDR-MCT?

Peter
