I have a Super Eagle and (I think) six Eagles still available for pickup
in the Seattle area. Some should be working but others may not be, all are
as-is. It really pains me to just toss old hardware, but I don't have space
to have these just sitting around anymore, so unless I hear from somebody
by the end of the month, they're bound for the dump. I almost had a deal
for them at the end of 2000, but I suspect that was just before the Computer
Garage had to move, which is enough for anybody to deal with at once.

... and if somebody wants to build a controller, I've still got a couple of
the WD1050's, which are SMD controller IC's.

SMD drives hook up to a KDA50, yes?

No. KDA50 is
QBus to SDI MSCP adapter. SDI is DEC proprietary. You need
DEC RAxx drives for it.
What you want is e.g. a Emulex QD3[234]. grep the field-guide.txt for
smd...

I hope somebody can find room for them. I'd pick 'em up myself if I

my controllers, but they were commonly used with 990's.

yes... they should work on your 990... in my opinion Eagles were the finest drives
manufactured at that time... they just ran and ran and ran .....
