Burroughs B80 rescued

by joreilly＠pacbell.net

Ian, Do you have the disk controller board for the B80? I developed it back in 1973. If you do could you email me a jpg of it? It has a certain nostalgia value. It is also the first ASIC disk controller in the industry, and I'd like to at least get the photo into the Computer Museum in Sunnyvale. If there is any thing I can help you with on the machine, just let me know. I also ran the team that developed the floppy disk drive on the unit. Jim O'Reilly

Q-bus SCSI Controllers RFI

by mjd.bishop＠emeritus-solutions.com

Q-bus (BA 23, BA123 & (with mods to the mounting hardware) BA213) SCSI controllers. What works (in particular with disks + MSCP + VMS), how well and what's still about ? What I know is: CMD CDQ-220/TM supports disks and tapes, and works with RZ2x disks / MSCP / VMS DEC KZQSA-AA (aka M5976-AA) is the BA23 Q-bus SCSI controller CMD CDQ-223/TM is a 220 with EMC shielding for a BA213 box What I'm curious to know is: - What boards were made and which are commonly available e.g. DEC KZQSA, CMD CDQ-220, Dilog SQ706 ?, Emulex UC02 ?, Andromeda SCDC-11 ?, ... - The relative (to SCSI 1) performance of each of the boards - Which boards are "dogs" : gotchas, tape only, unreliability / electronics failures And, some specific queries are: - What is the difference between a CDQ-220/xxx and a CDQ-220A/xxx ? - What is the functionality of a CDQ-243 (quad board, BA213 cab kit, 2 SCSI connectors) wrt a CDQ-220 / 223 ?
