Oh my, well that saves me a lot of case-cracking! :) I will see if I
can add a few to your archive.
Great! Contributions are welcome :-)
Is there already a non-DEC controller firmware archive somewhere? If
not, do you have any interest in adding relevant non-DEC controller
firmware?
For example I've had an Emulex QD21 Q-bus ESDI controller for a while
that was dead. I recently pulled and read the EPROM and found it
appeared to be almost completely erased. I eventually got another
working QD21 and copied its EPROM into the dead one and now it works
fine too. I would have been out of luck with the dead one if I
couldn't find a good firmware image for it.

Do you think
it'd be a good idea for me to, over time, pull them out
and read their ROMs for archival or reconstructive purposes?
I'd be happy to host images not already
there. See particularly the "Wanted!" list in that directory :-)
