On the other hand, I have been pondering the
development of a ATA
drive controller that emulates MSCP (and possibly TMSCP).
I'm sitting on the layout of one ;-))
Problem is, you pay appr 100$ license fee for MSCP, and another 100$ for
TMSCP.

I'd pay $200 + parts for a board that would do MSCP and run my 11/23's
with an IDE drive.
Actually, I'd love to find a SCSI or IDE controller with DEC OS support
for the QBUS.

Take a look at the CQD-220/TM or CQD-240/TM at
www.cmd.com. I have two
CQD-240/TM that I bought recently (25-Jan-99) from Ficomp (
www.ficompinc.com),
that I am using in my uVAX II with Ultrix 3.1. These boards emulate
MSCP and TMSCP. According to the technical manuals on CMDs website,
these boards work in: LSI-11/23, PDP-11/23+, Micro-PDP-11/53, 11/73,
11/83, 11/93, uVAX II, uVAX III, VAX 4000 and DECSystem 5400 systems.
They support RT-11, TSX, DSM-11, ISM-11, RSX, RSTS, VMS, UNIX, ULTRIX,
and other operating systems which use DU/TU drivers.
I am happy enough with the ones I have, I am going to buy a Unibus one
for my 750 when it arrives.
