When I get the intermittent CPU problem on the 11/44
fixed, and find a
UNIBUS SMD controller, can I just attach the CDC drive to the 11/44 and
have it boot and go, or will I need to reconfigure something?
That all depends on the controller in both systems. I have Emulex and
Xylogics SMD controllers here and they are not interchangeable. Data is
written differently. I have used Emulex in both Unibus and Qbus systems and
they are compatible for data. System disks are another matter.
