I did find a Sigma brand M8043 equivalent on eBay for a decent price (via a
make best offer). Is using non-DEC hardware just adding more variables, or
are they generally okay? I do like that it has dip switches rather than
wire wrapped jumpers!
I've used sigma lookalikes many times, and _never_ had a problem, including booting
emulated TU58 from the port at 776500. Sigma had a very good rep back in the day, along
with emulex and (later) CMD.
I also approve of the dipswitches :-)
