I've just aquired a tested working Emulex UC17
Unibus SCSI host interface
from a dealer for $50... don't know if I'm crazy paying so much for old
Unibus or not!
No, you're not crazy! You just got an AMAZING deal!
Question is, does anyone have any observations as to
any special
requirements such a card might have? Long time since I've played with any
Emulex... any reason why it shouldn't work in really ancient hardware, such
as my 11/20?... something appeals to me about putting a SCSI disk in such
>an ancient device!
Unfortunatly the manuals on my FTP site look to be for the UC07/08, not the
UC17. Also, I've not heard of anyone putting SCSI on such an old PDP-11,
it will be interesting to hear what your results are. On problem I can
think of is that you'll probably have to toggle in an MSCP bootstrap.
Please let us know how this goes, like I said, it will be interesting to know.
