=== What protocol does SMT123 use for optical communications? Does it use standard Fibre Channel protocols FC-0, FC-1 and FC-2 or proprietary Sundance protocol? ===

It uses a simpler proprietary protocol developed by Sundance.

A proper core for FC-x protocols is available for us to buy, but it's enormously expensive.

=== Can I connect optical link from SMT123 to the standard Fibre Cannel adapter in my PC (for example Emulex or QLogic) and get data transmitted by my oun hardware via SMT123 SHB? ===

No, not at the moment because the protocol is not supported.

=== Can I add some functionality to the SMT123's FPGA? To do this I need Sundance's source code for FPGA in SMT123. How and where can I get this code? ===

Yes, there is space left in the SMT123's FPGA. The code used in the SMT123 is created by and held by Sundance. It would be available under NDA.
