I have the following 5-1/4" Drives that I would like to get rid of. These
have all been working at one time or another, but I have no idea what
condition they are in now.
Maxtor EXT 4330
Seagate ST4766N
Hitachi DK516-12
Maxtor XT-8760E
Maxtor XT-4170E
I also have the following QBUS cards to part with.

All of these are FTAGH, but I wouldn't turn down a trade either. I'd be
interested in drive sleds for my BA123 or a spare power supply, also for
the BA123 or I'm always interested in M68K/M6809 stuff. I would prefer
local pickup near Livermore, CA. I don't believe that the drives are
shippable.

Are you sure you won't ship the Maxtor ESDI drves?? I have a microvax 2
here just crying out for them. Unfortunately CA is a five day drive away
for me!

Drives are definitely shippable, and small drives like 5.25 inch ones shouldn't be a
big deal. Traditional shipping involves a sturdy box with a couple of inches of foam
inside holding the drive.
Avoid loose fill like "foam peanuts". I once received an RP06 pack that came in
a large box full of foam peanuts, but the pack had settled in the bottom corner and was
dented on that side.

I have a machine that needs these specific models of ESDI disk Nigel, I was hoping for
them.
Your Uvax can use plenty of different types.
Trying to facilitate transfer (I am speaking of only the Maxtor disks)

Hmm, I could sure use one of those...
I bought a bunch of QBus boards from my recycler quite some time ago, but
the systems that they'd been pulled from were run with SMD drives. Finding
a working SMD drive is something of a challenge, but SCSI at least opens up
possibilities of emulated storage (or real spinning rust, I may still have
a suitable drive or two, albeit currently on the other side of the Atlantic)
The two VCB02 boards have me intrigued, too :-)

An M5976 KZQSA is not an MSCP compatible controller. If I remember
correctly an M7626 KA660 VAX 4000-200 or better CPU is necessary to
boot from it, and the only OS that supports it is VMS, and only SCSI
CD-ROM drives are officially supported.
I have never tried to boot VMS from a SCSI hard drive attached to an
M5976 KZQSA, or tried to access a SCSI hard drive attached to an M5976
KZQSA after booting VMS from a different drive. I have only used them
for installing VMS from a CD-ROM on a VAX 4000, or for installing
layered products from a CD-ROM on any Q-Bus VAX after VMS is already
installed. For that limited purpose they work well.

Be forewarned that a KZQSA isn't a "real" SCSI controller. It's

MSCP, and doesn't emulate any better-supported controller. It only is
intended to support a few specific tape drives and CD-ROM drives. It's
supported in some versions of VMS; I'm not sure about Ultrix.
I don't think it can be used as a boot device, though I'm less certain
about that.
