If i may shed some light,
        EISA,LOCAL,VEISA and whatever else is not a problem.
There is support for the Adaptec 1540a&b 1542a&b, Future Domain TMC 800 series
Seagtes ST01 & 02, Dale Universal IO/scsi and more on the way.

TCP/IP  -  X11 - gcc & g++ - Tape and more are set for early 93!!

GNU Tools are already available and so is the DEV KIT.

HOW SWEET IT IS!!
