Search on Emulex QD24 and you'll be rewarded with the information that it
is an Emulex MSCP ESDI disk controller. Which can be just as useful as a
SCSI card since finding a couple of 300MB ESDI drives shouldn't be too
hard. I think I've got a 170MB one laying about somewhere.
Kirk Davis (kdb(a)ndx.net) mentioned he had some SCSI controllers he was
thinking about trading for PDP-11 gear. Also I just missed a lot that had
about 10 Dilog SCSI controllers on it at a local scrap/bid place (had I
known I would have bid more than the $75 it went for :-() my interest was
in the more mundane things like a couple of DSSI ID plugs and an external
DSSI disk expansion box.

I'm trying to bring up NetBSD on a Vax 4000/300,
and so I'm
looking for a MSCP SCSI disk controller. After going through
my stack of Qbus boards (collected from hamfests, etc.) I came across
one that looks like it might be a SCSI controller... unfortunately,
I haven't been able to confirm it, since a google search turns up
very little on it (a bad sign...sigh) The board is labeled:
"Emulex Corp QD2410401-02 rev F"
It has 3 connectors and a DIP switch on the front plate. The
connectors appear to be of the SCSI-2 form factor. Has anyone
run across this critter before, or tried it with NetBSD? Come
to think of it, Is this even SCSI, or something else
entirely? Also, does anyone know where their might be some
on-line docs for it, or at least a description of the DIP switch settings...
