The only thing I forgot was just how heavy the damn thing is! I just looked and here is what I have: VMS V5.5-2 BIN Oct 92 Disk 1 of 1 CDROM Viking SCSI controller - I think this is disk only and used it in the past. Viking A/B A4.0 on rom. Alphatronix SCSI controller - this is rebadged Viking not sure how it is set up, disk/tape or disk. Emulex UC07 - this is has S-box handles and have used it in a VAX 4000. DEC KZQSA - this is also S-box also CMD - CQD 223A/TM in S-box configuration DEC - RRD42 external SCSI CDROM drive I've only used the Viking boards to control a single drive in the past ( I think, its been a long time ). I am reluctant to remove the S-box handles as they seem to be riveted to the board. The CD is DEC and I'm not sure of how much is on it, is it just an OS? Can it be used with the MVII? It looks like I could use one of the Viking controllers to talk to the RRD42 and a SCSI to SD card drive and get up and running. How many things could go wrong? Doug
