Just got an Emulex UC08 SCSI <--> QBus.
Has the S handles on it and all I have is BA23.
So, I'm waiting for drill to charge so I can drill out the 4 rivets that
hold on the S handle stuff.
Not having any experience with SCSI, I have a question.
Could I use a BA356, with 8 bit personality module, with RZ29B-VW 4gb
drives, with the UC08?
From what I can find, the drives are 50 pin, wide SCSI, but I'm guessing
that's what the personality module would handle.
The UC08 has 2 HPDB50M connectors.
It has 2 SCSI ports, typically one TMSCP, the other MSCP.
If the BA356 and those drives should work, anyone know what the connector
is on the BA356 going to the host adaptor?

Ed,
If you need the docs for the UC08, let me know off list.

It seems a bit of a waste to hook it up, but if you only have a narrow
personality module anyway... As for if it will work, all I can really say
is that it *should*. Having said that at one point I attempted to attach a
BA353 or BA350 (don't remember which) to my PDP-11/73 using a Viking QDT
controller, and was unable to get it to work. For some strange reason it
didn't seem to like DEC SCSI HD's but likes IBM or Seagate SCSI drives (and
the a DEC RRD-42 CD-ROM).
BTW, the drives in the canisters should either be 68-pin or 80-pin (if
80-pin they're SCA drives). The 8-bit personality module knocks them down
to 50-pin narrow.
Best answer, try it and see what happens. What you don't want to mix is
High Voltage Differential with either Single Ended or Low Voltage
Differential.

In theory, yes. The RZ29s will dumb down to narrow.

SCSI, but I'm guessing

Yep. It doesn't matter what the drives themselves are because the SBB
(canister) they live in presents a consistent connector to the outside
world, also the BA35x never got faster than 16bit SCSI - the shelves that
lived in RaidArrays were BA37x IIRC.
If the BA356 and those drives should work, anyone know
what the connector
is on the BA356 going to the host adaptor?
The 8 bit personality module (BA35X-MG I think) has 2 50 pin Honda
connectors on, same as the stock BA350. Off the top of my head I can't
remember the DEC part number for the cable.....BC09J-xx perhaps?

Hi everyone,
First up, would anyone like any of these bits:
Tandy CoCo3
Sinclair Z88 spares or repair - suspect minor repair needed
An assortment of oddball 80s handheld lcd and led games
RM480Z
I'm on the lookout for the following as well:
ACT Sirius hardware
Localtalk to ethernet bridge
ASR33 teletype
Thanks!

I would love the 480z,I have just got a 380z network server (thinking
I could use it as a normal 380z if you read the thread) and I need a
480z to complete the package..

Where are you? Not that I particularly want any of it, but I'm sure

I ahve a reverse-engineered schematic of the Sirius, which reveals a few
interesting things (like the user port, the sound _input_ connector, the
'GPIN' port and so on). Maybe I should copy it for you...
