I've got an Emulex QD21 (Qbus ESDI controller) with a Rev. D firmware on
it. The later revisions of this card (Rev. E and later) shipped with a
much nicer firmware that included autoconfiguration, and a menu-driven
formatter and diagnostics package.
Does anyone happen to have a ROM image for Rev. E or later? I'd love
to upgrade my board.

I have a few QD21s here. If you don't find it before I have a chance
to plug them into a machine and see what they've got, I'll see if I have
something newer than Rev D.

I have a G or maybe K firmware for my QD21. I'll take a look tonight.

Replying to my own reply, I found an old email where I mentioned that
I had Rev J firmware for the QD21. I'll verify that and post the
EPROM images I have later tonight.

New subject: Emulex/Dilog firmware on bitsavers?
Hi everybody,
realizing that quite some people make use of Emulex and Dilog controllers in PDPs and
VAXen led me to the idea that it maybe would be a good thing to store firmware with
different/latest revisions of these boards to an online place, as some asked for
differences and latest revisions of these boards, lately.
For the future, would it be possible to put these on bitsavers for example? Any other
ideas / thoughts?
Kind regards,
Pierre

that would be fine with me. I ended up putting the KDJ11-B
firmware with
the manuals in the
pdf section just to keep things together (and they were small)
I could put up the reworked CMD pals and proms as well.
