That's a good question, Bryan. A lot would depend upon the address space used by the ROMDisQ for its I/O operations, and I don't have that information to hand. Also, the one ROMDisQ that I have in my possession stopped working about three years ago, so I'm not in a position to do any testing.
For information, the Q-Bus prototype defines four 256 byte pages from FC00 to FFFF inclusive (CONTROL, SELECT, READ, WRITE). The entire Q-BUS interface can be taken out of circuit either under software control or by raising the external Interface Enable pin, so the possibility of co-existing with other ROM port devices does exist. If I can make it work, I will.

I am dependent upon the ROMDisQ in my port. Would I still be able to use it without too much projection; I have limited front to back room in my desk set-up.
