[cctalk] Re: uVAX-II new MSCP media?

Q-bus disk options, using uSD or recent media, arguably include: - RQDX3 - MSCP - David Gesswein's MFM emulator (or similar) - Qbus SCSI master - SCSI bus - uSD or spinning rust SCSI disk - a Qbone configured as a disk All of those could use uSD as storage Convering VMS BACKUP tapes to disk images is, if you are in luck, a job for simh HtH; Martin -----Original Message----- From: Jon Elson via cctalk [mailto:cctalk@classiccmp.org] Sent: 16 July 2026 15:04 To: Douglas Taylor via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> Cc: Jon Elson <elson(a)pico-systems.com> Subject: [cctalk] uVAX-II new MSCP media? Hello, all, IO am trying to get my uVAX-II running for the VCFMW.  I am having issues getting my 40+ year old ESDI drives configured with an Emulex QD21, but may eventually get that working. But, that is not a likely long term solution.  Is there a Q-bus MSCP disk controller that takes something like SD cards?  I think I have seen some projects like that. Anybody know? I have 2 ESDI drives with VMS on them (last time they were used) and I also have a tape container file of a VMS BACKUP tape of my system from about 1993.  What would be great is a procedure to get the whole bootable file system off that BACKUP file or the extracted files from that.  All of these files are now on a Linux system. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks, Jon
