it got me wondering whether the SCSI connector could be used for anything else, like a graphics card? Or is the connector only usable as a SCSI bus?

the connector on the Blizzard is a DMA-enabled interface that doesn't have anything to do with SCSI in its own right. It's the add-on card that gives the SCSI ability - so theoretically it should be possible to design a card that fits the connector and bungs data to the Amiga via DMA.



that's interesting and i wonder how come and nobody has done anything yet. they have make harware even for the clock port,
something that not even commodore should have dream to do...

at least at my german part of the registration card (the english has been send at p5) there isn't anything like that. there are only a fiew questions about the progs that the user intend to use the bliz and a question about the quality of the board. as far as i can tell, don't know german.
