What is required of the Mac? Do you need, for example, a gateway such
as a Gatorbox? If not then will this work with any Ethernet connection
to a Mac( such as the SCSI one from NuvoTech)?

Can the Mac see the optical? It isn't a SCSI device. Do you have an
address, phone #,etc...?

In the "bug report" you mention that it takes 64megs on the NeXT before
the Mac will see 1meg. I hope that after this is taken care of storage
is seen normally(i.e. the next 63megs can be handled normally)?
