I want to re-pay someone for some help they've given me and they've said
they're looking for a Qbus hard disk controller. Sounds like too generic
a description but at any rate, if someone has one they want to sell or
trade then please let me know.
Thanks!

Really *WAY* to generic. At face value they could very well mean a
DEC RQDX3 (MFM), but they might also be looking for a third party
MFM, ESDI, or SCSI controller.

Jerome Fine replies:
Controller Model Max RD5n Drive
------------------ ------------------
RQDX1 (M8639) RD51
RQDX1 (M8639-YA) RD52
RQDX3 (M8639-YB) RD53
RQDX3 (M7555) RD54 - RD3n drives also allowed
NOTES:
(1) RQDX1 must be the last board in the Qbus (i.e. ONLY one allowed)
(2) All RQDXn also allow the RX50
(3) RQDX3 also allows the RX33 and RT-11 can FORMAT an RX33 media
Any other questions?
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
