[cctalk] Re: Next Week: VCF Midwest

So now, like me, you are stuck with  a bunch of ESDI drives and no controller! I do have one DQ696, on my MVII in a BA123 box, but the other controller was a Sigma that developed in internal faulure and which I used for RT11 on my 11/73 BA23 box. Now I have to share the one controller between the two boxes. RT11 one day and NetBSD another! Like you, I sold all sorts of stuff for a song, including a millivolt-on-HVAC common mode DT2765 a/d card that was $3000 when new! I also had 3 KA630s and accidentally sold two, so now I do not have a spare for the microvax either! If anybody out there has a DQ696 or an RQDX3 available, I'd like to hear from you! cheers, Nigel Nigel Johnson, MSc., MIEEE, MCSE VE3ID/G4AJQ/VA3MCU Amateur Radio, the origin of the open-source concept!
