There isn't _yet_.
I'm currently working on one. The problem is that the A/UX SCSI handling is
sufficiently different (read: the MacOS SCSI manager does not correspond to
real-world SCSI very well) as to give everyone a big headache.
No, I don't know when it'll be ready. If somebody wants to help with testing,
send me some mail. (Having the 2.0 device driver development kit is a must
as there are some differences which require changes in the SCSI error
handling.)
