This one is perpetually listed at $100

Provided I can confirm that it will work with my uVax II and some
obtainable drive, I'd pay maybe half that for it :)
Well, for anything other than a KZQSA, I'd disagree, but for the
KZQSA I'm not sure the KZQSA has much value left in it. Maybe you
should just look at getting a VAXstation 3100/20 or a similar system,
they should be cheap, they use SCSI. As long as you want to run VMS
you can use the MVII as a satellite node to the 3100.

If you can find a decent Q-Bus or Unibus SCSI controller for $50 or
less, the odds are it will only work with tape drives. The other
alternative is to start keeping your eye out for complete systems.
Remember Q-Bus SCSI controllers have *REAL* commercial value.
