I spotted a few cards at the local dismantlers the other day, and I
wonder what they are:
- dual-height (2 card edge fingers) with a sticker reading " MTI Model
MSV05B" and a 50-pin header at the outside edge of the card
- quaad-height with a silk-screened Dilog logo and DQ130 model number
and 2 50-pin headers at teh ccard edge.
What are these?? They had several of each of these, condition unknown
(they were already pulled out of the machines), which I asked them to
put away for me for a few days. Does anybody need any?
One machine I also spotted there was labelled VaxStation II / GPX in a
BA123 enclosure. I"m not interested in the machine, but if anyone wants
cards from it, let me know....

I think it's a tape controller for drives with a Pertec interface? At
least that's what a "MSV05" appears to be. Or does this by any chance look
like the following board ftp://zane.brouhaha.com/pub/dan/viking_scsi/qdt.jpg
- quad-height with a silk-screened Dilog logo and
DQ130 model number
and 2 50-pin headers at teh ccard edge.

I'd be interested in one of these... Now I just need to find myself
another 9track tape drive (working, this time). I'll contact you offlist.

Why don't you post a list of the cards in the machine, if you can get back
to it before they want it 'gone away'.

They're nine-track tape controllers (Pertec interface). Might be worth
saving if they'll sell them cheap.

Hard to say without knowing what cards are in it. If it's just a stock
configuration, it's not too exciting, although I wouldn't mind having
a spare VCB02 card set. Could contain interesting third-party stuff,
though.
The BA123 is a nice enclosure, and I wouldn't mind having another,
especially if it's in good condition, but it's probably not worth
shipping. Where's the stuff located?

Speculation:
Floppy controler? I have a similar card from MTI and it is
a RX02 emulating floppy controler with Shugart SA800 interface.
