Re: Classic equipment available & my bad year.
I have had a major health incident which means that I have been unresponsive for several months. As I need to move in closer to town, I will be disposing of what remains of my collection (Things like: Altairs, Imsa, PET 2001, Apple II, TRS-80s, lots of S100 carts etc.) Best Wishes Dave.

Re: Classic equipment available & my bad year.
Dave, That is a remarkable story. I am glad you are on the mend but sad to hear of your disposing of your remaining collection. Your website has been a regular resource for me personally and I have enjoyed seeing your virtual collection immensely as a Canadian collector. I wish you the best in your further recovery.

It's doesn't use MSCP, and doesn't emulate any better-supported controller. It only is intended to support a few specific tape drives and CD-ROM drives. It's supported in some versions of VMS; I'm not sure about Ultrix. I don't think it can be used as a boot device, though I'm less certain about that.

If I remember correctly an M7626 KA660 VAX 4000-200 or better CPU is necessary to boot from it, and the only OS that supports it is VMS, and only SCSI CD-ROM drives are officially supported. I have never tried to boot VMS from a SCSI hard drive attached to an M5976 KZQSA, or tried to access a SCSI hard drive attached to an M5976 KZQSA after booting VMS from a different drive. I have only used them for installing VMS from a CD-ROM on a VAX 4000, or for installing layered products from a CD-ROM on any Q-Bus VAX after VMS is already installed. For that limited purpose they work well.
