Subject: 11/34 & Cool stuff, but what is it? (Q-bus gear)
Then I bid on a rack of "junk" which was
topped off by a Kennedy 9610 tape
drive. I bid on it because the tape drive had what appearred to be a 50
pin
cable going to a Q-bus card marked Emulex. In fact it
was _two_ 50 pin
cables and the Emulex card is labelled QT1310401-00-REV E. On the firmware
the label reads QT1310201-02 REV K. What is it? A search of the web turned
up zilch. I was hoping it was a SCSI controller but two connectors? (one
is
terminated with resistor packs) On board is the
obligatory processor and
some switches.
It's a pertec/TMSCP controller, no SCSI ...
You need both cables.
If nothing else it gives me 9-track capability.
------------ ?
Don't stress your luck, you had a nice day ;-)
Another "jewel" on the rack was a Dilog
Q696-20 dual ESDI controller. I'm
going to try swapping the RQllD for this one and see if I can get NetBSD
to
run stably.
the 696, runs fien with NetBSD ...
Its like christmas,
Better ;-)
