Thanks all for the replies.

Perhaps I should have been a little more specific about my intentions.
I'm looking for a fast, easy way to network a cluster [Beowulf style] of
PC's each of which already  have SCSI controlers in them. When I was
reading through the mail messages I saw what I thought was a reference
to using the SCSI controler as a means of interconnecting the nodes. So,
not being a SCSI expret,  I posted the message in hopes that maybe this
might be a possible way of doing it.  I was hoping to avoid the adtional
cost of NIC cards, switches, etc.

Any thoughts, and/or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Bill
