VaX enthusiasts,
I finally managed to get QBus SCSI card for my MicroVax II thanks to Ebay.
It appears like it will fit in fine. It says KZQSA M5976-SA on the side. It has two
Centronix-50 Female connectors on it. Question is what is easiest way to connect this to
internal full-height DEC SCSI drive with standard 50-pin connector. Get a f-f gender
connector and a cable with Centronix-50 F connector on one end and ribbon with internal
connectors along it, and terminator at end?
I cannot recall what model DEC drive this is, but I thought it was 4GB. How do I find DEC
Drive model? I see numbers 74046725-0 A01 GM on side rail, 70-2988501 on top of drive,
Model DSP5400S Rev RH12E-CY A01 on back of rail, and another label on the back of drive
reading KB34426075 R-75. Board says 54-21265-06 A05 and ZG40516250 and 74P6 and Side 2
5021264-06 A01
I used to like programming in C and Fortran on this machine and the drive died a few years
ago. I was hoping to load VMS on to the new big disk and have lots of space to play around
in.
Thanks for your assistance,
Bradley Slavik
