Hello.
I have an UC08/III, the quad QBUS board with two SCSI controllers,
with metal panel for MicroVAX).
I would try to convert it to a plain UC08, the version for LSI11
without the metal panel.
The doubt is about the electrical compatibility: if I could remove the
panel and solder in place the 50pin berg connectors,
the card could work on a PDP11 in MSCP / TMSCP?

I've not done this myself, but I'm quite certain you'll be fine. I'm
not aware of any physical differences in the boards when S-box handles
are attached, and Qbus is Qbus. (mostly)

Maybe another solution would be to work out a trade with someone with a non
s-handle controller who could make use of an s-handle controller.
I don't have any Emulex SCSI controllers. I do have a few CMD dual wide
SCSI controllers that are not s-handle versions.

I do have an UC08 in the original LSI11 format and as far what I have seen
on some pictures lately that one with the S-Box handles has an
Doughterboard for the rised connectors on the S-Box handle.
The layout of my controller has the soldering points for the risers too.
We should continue our already proven good proceedings with sending
pictures, shouldn't we?
I'll make a picture next 2 days.
BTW: Your Eprom isn't forgotten, it sits here on my keyboard, send it next
time...
BTW: what Software version is on you controller? What is on the ROM
stickers?
Regards,
Holm
