#122 SCSI interface emulation (B.E.R.T.)
For completeness, it would be cool to have SCSI
interface emulation.
Rudolf Lechleitner who made RuMSX already has large
parts of the WD33C93A SCSI controller emulated. This is
the controller that is in the Gouda SCSI interface, for
example. It works with the famous Novaxis ROM. Rudolf
told me we could use his code as a base for SCSI
emulation in openMSX as well.

BlueMSX now also has a lot of SCSI emulation.
<dvik> both ese mega-scsi, and scc-scsi, as well as novaxis scsi is emulated in bluemsx. Currently I think only hard disks are supported but cd and other things is in the pipe.
The ese scsi is based on an Fujitsu MB89352A scsi controller and the Novaxis is based on an Western digital wd33c93 controller.
The code is there, it just needs to be reused in openMSX...

Ported Novaxis SCSI to openMSX... The rest is still to be done :)

MEGA-SCSI is ported as well. Still to do is B.E.R.T., but there is no existing emulation code for that Zilog chip avaible atm, AFAIK. So it probably won't be done soon.
