  I've just acquired a MicroVAX 3800 (KA655-AA CPU),
with various extra
 bits and pieces.  I know this is not _technically_ classic, but it
 almost is... and heck, any QBus equipment feels pretty classic to me :) 
Lucky ...

...

 It has the factory-installed KFQSA-SA DSSI controller card in it, but
 what I'd really like to do is put SCSI into this poor dear, as DSSI
 drives are getting harder to come by.

 I've got a quick question for everyone first.  Can a KZQSA-SF (SCSI)
 and a KFQSA-SA (DSSI) controller live peacefully together on the same
 Q-BUS, or must I dump one to use the other? 
No problem ...

...

 If I can use both, does anyone have a KZQSA-SF card they'd be willing to
 give, trade, or sell to me?   I 
Thats not so easy ...
Most people want to keep their SCSI q-bus cards ...
but you could easily buy a new one ... (appr. 800-1400 $) :-((
