That's a driver issue and was some sort of "business
decision".
(means "got screwed up by suits for no good reason")
And it is an MSCP controller, is it not?
As far as I can remember, no. That was the point. It is a SCSI
controller, not an MSCP controller.
By the way, yes, there is plenty of SCSI support in VMS. All of the more
modern VAXstations and whatnot have only native SCSI, and no MSCP or
similar.
