Did you not get the reply I sent to you yesterday morning ? Here's what
I said:

   You'd have to start by getting a trace of the device working under the
   DOS emulator. There is a file

           ftp://ftp.torque.net/pub/how-to-trace.txt

   that outlines the steps to follow to collect a trace. It's written for
   the PARIDE project, but you should be able to adapt the procedures for
   your adapter.

   Be aware that the 348 and 358 are already quite different - so there's
   no reason to believe that the 338 will be similar to either.

To clarify this a bit: David and I discussed cooperating on future
development of the parallel port SCSI adapters. There will not be
two competing projects here ... Neither of us has time for that sort
of nonsense.
