This is going to annoy certain people, but...
A few years ago a UK surplus company had a few Emulex SCSI cards for the
Qbus (with the ability to add the extra address lines by plugging in a
TTL chip, which was also supplied), boxed, with user manual, for \pounds
10.00 each (about $15). I bought a couple for myself, and mentioned it
to a friend who was a VAX sysadmin. I then went back and bought their
entire stock (12 more cards IIRC). They were then passed on to people who
were seriously using MicroVAXen...
I still have my 2 cards, but I'm not selling them yet.
You Sir, are a cruel and heartless man! I would love to have SCSI for my
system, so I could get it up and running, but can't afford a few hundred
dollars for the controller.
