I don't believe I've ever heard about someone using DSSI on a PDP-11.
No idea if that would work or not. I think it would in part depend on
if it appears as simply another MSCP device.
I've done it. For a while I had a KFQSA and an RF71 in a BA23 chassis
with a KDJ11-B processor. I ran 2.11BSD. There was a little trouble
getting the MSCP bootstrap to work with the KFQSA, but I think that is
now included in the patches for 2.11BSD.
It really helps if you have a qbus VAX like a KA650 that has DUP in the
ROM so you can configure the DSSI disk. I thought it was cool when I
discovered that the embedded processor in the RF71 was a VAX.
