Just to hastily follow-up and divert everyone's attention from my
miss-fired reply (meant for Andreas and not the list), I found a
recent bitsavers document which suggests the drives I have (Emulex
SD590s) are not SMD drives as I originally thought, but DEC SDI (the
host side is DSA a forerunner of MSCP?) - something I've never heard
of before.
Is anyone familiar with these drives that might know if the KDA50-Q
controller is suitable?

I get the impression these drives were really intended to be used with
VAX-BI based systems and I will be out of luck trying to get them to
run on a simpler QBUS MicroVAX system.
