Ethernet over SCSI - drivers for Amiga?

Hi,

since the Raspberry-SCSI-device development I had an eye on that device. Beyond SCSI it offers Ethernet-over-SCSI for X68000s.

There were adapters like these for legacy macs.

Anyone heard about a driver for such devices for an Amiga??

WAAAAY back in the day I experimented with a number of SCSI<->Ethernet adapters released for the Mac market, but I couldn't find any documentation for how they worked (and to be honest I had no idea how to write a proper SANA-2 driver anyway, but was willing to learn). I probably still have a stack of them in storage somewhere.

The idea of DMA-driven Ethernet was nice though. Right now the only way to do Amiga DMA Ethernet that I know of is with a USB Ethernet adapter on a Deneb USB card.

Seemed to be an interesting idea.

Hm, that are bad news. I was looking for this solution also, to replace my plipbox.

Can you use a SCSI Ethernet adapter with Shapeshifter or Fusion emulators?

This sounds like a really good idea.

I've got a bunch of Adaptec SCSI chips (aic33c95az) which are suitable for 16 bit CPU like 68000/68010. It would be good to use a DMA driven generic peripheral bus with as many things hanging off it as possible to make the system fast and efficient.
It'd sure make a CDTV fly! hehe

Does anyone know of any GitHub repos with Ethernet over SCSI?

The only thing I remember getting close to this on the Amiga was this Siamese RTG 2.5 which had SCSI networking between a PC SCSI card with ethernet and Amiga with SCSI.

Google only reports this page :

http://theweeks.org/toms-stuff/ENET-SCSI.html

SCSI networking exists on Atari ST/Falcon with physical Daynaport SCSI/LinkT SCSI->Ethernet adapters + MiNT/STiNG/STik drivers. I believe RaSCSI supports Daynaport SCSI emulation so Atari computers should already work?
