So, do you have any info on making them work? I've got a pair of them,
which I got out of 3rd party (embedded) 11/23 systems, but I haven't had
any luck getting them to talk to drives. The system can talk to the
controller (I stuck it into a QBUS VAX and could do a "show uqssp" to
it), but it didn't seem to see any drives, and the activity lights on
the drives didn't ever blink (though the LED on the card did blink when
it should have been talking to the SCSI bus).

Viking and CMD controllers were also common, IIRC.
It has been my experience that the Viking controllers were *very*
common and rebadged by at least a couple companies. All of my main
PDP-11's are using Viking QDT & UDT controllers.
