I think the board in question is made by CMD Technology CQD 443-tm. The T
indicates tape, and the M indicates Disk controller. What did you need it to
do? I have both TK50 and 70 interfaces, drives, and media.

Well, if I am going to get the latest OpenVMS hobbyist edition, I'd
need to hook a SCSI CD-ROM drive up to it. I think I have one on the
shelf somewhere.

It needs to be more than just a SCSI CD-ROM, it must support 512-byte blocks.

*GOOD* question. I don't see any actual indication. However, after
some Googling, I found this page http://questier.com/SGI/, since this
person is using one on his SGI Indigo, I'd say you're in luck.

Now that you jog my memory, I think this CD-ROM came from an SGI
system. I can't remember if it was having problems or not. I guess
I'll find out :-)

SCSI CD-ROM drives that support 512-byte blocks aren't nearly as
hard to find these days as they once were. There are now tons of
obsolete Macintosh machines with suitable drives. Just about any
beige-box PCI Power Mac (i.e. the 7200/7300/7500 systems) has a
CD drive in it that will work. Something I was happy to discover
a few years back, after which I started putting Apple drives in a
lot of my Sparc boxes that didn't have drives.
There are still people who advertise 'cd-rom drive that will work
in your Sparc' deals on eBay but they are mostly opportunists at
this point.
