Subject: Re: QBUS SCSI controller for RT-11
DON'T buy that KZQSA for your PDP-11. I made that
mistake. I paid $45 for
one on eBay. When I got it, behold, it would not work. I then looked high
and looked low, but there are no drivers for this board for any PDP-11 OS.
I
even looked through the VAX NETBSD source code to see
if I might want to
port it, but I could not find it there either. It is my understanding that
this board is supported only under VMS. What you want is an MSCP
compatible
board; the KZQSA is not.

externally. I have been able to use an XT1140 in place of an RD54, I think
the XT1085 will work also. You have to hack ZRQCH0 or format it on an
MV2000. Two of them would give you the same amount of storage as one RD54.

Jonathan,
Thank you for the warning! This is exactly what I needed to know to save me
a lot of frustration and a handful of money - like most many people, I don't
have any money to just blow :-)
Also, thanks to the other folks for their input.
Thanks,
Stuart Johnson
