After using sg3_utils sg_format to resize the capacity of the the SCSI
drive to match the size of the RD54 disk image, you can the use
something equivalent to 'dd' to copy the RD54 disk image to the SCSI
drive. On a Windows system I use a simple utility I wrote myself years
ago. I will send Rod a copy of that directly off list. Similar
utilities can be found online if you search around. I haven't found
any that I will recommend myself.
After the RD54 disk image has been copied to the physical SCSI drive
on your Windows system, move it over to the PDP-11/93 system with the
CMD CQD-220 controller. Use the CQD-220 firmware utilities to check
that the SCSI drive is recognized and configured as a single DU unit.
It might be a good idea to use the 'Z' configuration option to reset
the controller to the default settings. The output below was from a
CQD-220. The firmware on your CQD-220A may differ slightly with more
options, but it is the same general idea.

Then boot from DU0, and if everything worked along the way it should
just work. Assuming it boots OK into RSTS/E 10.0, use the SHOW DISK
command to verify that the reported disk size is the expected 311200
blocks.
The output below is booting from the SCSI disk on a KDJ11-D 11/53.
