I wanted to revive my MicroVax II (BA23 cabinet I

RZ74 (4GB drive) to it. I am writing number from memory, perhaps
I have made mistakes. Will this card on Ebay do the trick?

I believe this might be the easiest way to get SCSI support
on my machine, but perhaps this card is incompatible, or
drive is too big?
Uhm... be *very* careful with connecting these drives, and the
KDA50 controllers, to the BA23 power supply. Most of these
will *not* be able to handle them together, since the KDA50
controller (SDI to QBus) is a power-hungry monster.
Other than that, the drive would work just fine on the VAX.
