Have a look at "third-party-disks.txt".
You know about "pdp11-field-guide.txt"?
And, as already noted: Most likely an ESDI controller + disk is cheaper
then a QBus SCSI adapter and does a good job. I use two Dilog ESDI MSCP
controlers, a DQ686 in a MV III and a DQ696 in a PDP-11/73. They work
really well.
If you want something funny look for a Fujitsu Eagle and a Emulex QD33,
accompanied by a Emulex TC13 controled Fujitsu M2442A or the like. :-)
BTW: I have a nice M2442A free for local pickup in Germany...
