The one thing you have to keep firmly in mind is that the 53c{7,8}xx chips are best viewed logically as consisting of two parts: a dumb SCSI chip that would fit somewhere between the 5380 family and 5390 family, if it were on its own (leaning heavily toward the '90 side), and a script processor that talks to that SCSI chip, and these parts *run* *independently*. Keep that in mind, and so don't depend on nothing interesting happening on the SCSI side while you've got the script processor halted. The SCSI side can't do a lot on its own, but it can do things like, e.g., respond to a selection or reselection, so if you write a script that expects that nothing will be talking to the you when you start the script, you can get a surprise. -Tim Smith
