Probably, but no TK50, then, and no possibility to patch the ROMs and
use the SCSI interface as a real SCSI interface (I've been trying to
get back to that project, but stalled when I realized that I don't have
a map of which byte corresponds to which socket).
If all he wants is the 5380 -- I recommend using
something like
a MediaVision ProAudio Spectrum Sound Card as the chip donor.
I've got 3 and a Trantor T180 (which I think uses the same chip)
available to help save a MicroVax.
I have a T128 that gave up a 5380 for a Supra controller (but I did a
nice, clean job and installed a socket for later - it's my only *bootable*
8-bit SCSI card).
