There are a some manufacturers (e.g., Inmos, Transtech, Alta) that make 
SCSI TRAMS which can interface to SCSI hard disks.  Libraries are 
provided to make programming simpler (C or Occam for the Inmos B422).
Alta (in Sandy, Utah, U.S.A., I think) makes a TRAM and also a PC transputer
motherboard that contain firmware to emulate the DOS file system.
