That is my question.
I have used a couple of versions of the SCSI2SD boards in the past with Viking, Emulex
QC07, DEC RQXZ1 controllers in the past, and also direct connections to MicroVax SCSI
buss's.
There are other manufacturers of these SD to SCSI emulators now. What is the current SOA?
What works, what doesn't work with DEC hardware?

In 2021, one of the projects during my Sabbatical was to work over my VAXstation 4000’s.
As part of this, I bought some SCSI2SD boards, and got one working in my VAXstation
4000/90. I planned to do the same with the VAXstation 4000/60 I have in a rack, but it’s
still running off of a rack mount BA350, and a couple old SCSI drives. I should probably
look into what it would take to put a SCSI2SD board in a SBB.
I need to find time to work on my PDP-11/23+ and PDP-11/73, as I’m sure I need to replace
the caps in the Powersupplies, so I haven’t tried to drive a SCSI2SD board with a Viking
QDT.
