Ah! Thank you. Yes, the l619atk.pdf there is bit-identical to the PDF
I started with.
I'm not sure what you're looking for but I know of three MSCP documents
which were at one time hard to find. However I acquired copies several
years ago, scanned them, and made them available. They are:
MSCP Basic Disk Functions Manual AA-L619A-TK, Version 1.2, First
Edition April 1982
Storage Systems Diagnostics and Utility Protocol AA-L620A-TK April 1982
Storage System Unibus Port Description AA-L621A-TK April 1982
Collectively they make up the UDA50 Programmer's Documentation Kit,
published by Digital Equipment Corporation, Part No. QP-905-GZ. There
are three documents in the set, which are useful (if not essential) to
anyone programming for DEC's RQDX controllers and other MSCP or TMSCP
controllers, as well as the UDA50. Don't be put off by the "Unibus" in
the title of the third; it's applicable to QBus systems as well.
If you can't find them all, they are (temporarily) back at
