The upside is EDSI and scsi drives are very cheap to near free so the

I beg to differ on that. I have installed VMS
5.4, with DECnet onto my
MicroVAX II. Someone has also kindly sent me UCX 1.3 which is now also
installed (so the original question has now been answered). All that

Please tell me you've backed the system up.
As for SCSI and ESDI controllers, the prices I
see on ebay are beyond my
hobbyist means.
Geez, what are ESDI controllers going for these days? I just did a
search on some my archives, it's been over 9 years since I was selling
a bunch.
