I have a MicroVAX I too, it's the only machine I've got with an RQDX2
controller and I think it doesn't work. Last time I powered up I just got an

I have a MicroVAX I... it's more of a curiosity than anything. Quite
limited. We bought two when they first came out and upgraded one
(full price, $17K ISTR) to a MicroVAX II. The enhanced one was used
for product development and a few other things. The unenhanced one
was our hardware test box so if one of our boards under test was so
broken that it damaged the host (that did happen once or twice), it
was cheaper to get back into service. I should go fire that box up
and see if the hard drive has stiction (odds are good).
