Agreed. I might have one of those controllers in my pile, information on
them is now exceptionally rare, and without things like those disks one
is sunk.
Also have an MTI ESDI Q Bus controller in my 11/73. It has its' own
serial port that allows you to configure if you know the "HELLO"
password, which is "MTI" (all caps). Without that bit of info it's
useless....

If anybody has an Andromeda Q-bus MFM hard
drive/floppy controller, I have dug up the diags/utilities disk for it.
This will boot from the floppy on an LSI-11 or MicroVAX-II and allow you to format drives
and run diagnostics.
Anybody need this?? I have no idea if the floppy is still readable, although it has been
stored in good
conditions.
