I was poking about for alternatives to the hefty KDB50-Q SDI
controller set for MicroVAX to connect up my Emulex SD590 SDI hard
drives and found on ebay this item:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190665553055
DEC T1003 VAXstation BDA SDI 5015772-01 Disk Adapter to Single Drive Interface
It is labelled as a VAXstation BDA (VAX BI Disk Adapter) and
interestingly the T1003 is one component of the KDB50-Q board-set, so
I am guessing this could be a VAXstation specific KDB50 all-in-one?
anyone know anything about these? I could not find any manuals for
them nor could I find a VAXstation that has some type of extensible
bus that would support a board like this. I notice this seller has
several other "VAXstation" boards too.
I have a couple of M38 VAXstations but I don't think they take any
type of expansion option other than graphics cards, so I guess the
VAXstation BDA options go in the 4000 series? Looking at the few pages
on the 4000 series does not reveal much in the way of expansion
options either.
thanks,
