Nigel,
Have you thought about using the MFM emulator from
https://www.pdp8.net/mfm/mfm.shtml
I don't know how well it works with MicroVax...
A friend (in Toronto) is doing a run of these:

There are still 2 for sale at time of writing.

Subject: Diloq SQ703 to SQ706 conversion
I'm getting back to trying to restore my MicroVax II. Existing controllers are
ESDI and MFM, disks hard to find.
So I would like to convert a brand-new DQ703 I have to SQ706 so I can mount
SCSI disks.
I understand it is just a prom change.
Does anybody have any info, or perhaps a PROM image?
cheers,
Nigel
