Thanks for the reply, Glen. Now, I am not sure where I got that info from, but I believe it was from this list or maybe netbsd-vax. My SQ703s have an unpopulated area near the 50 pin connector, and are of one of the later versions. I have always assumed that was for extra drivers to do

Don't know much about the Dilogs (other than there were tape and disk versions) but ESDI disks can still be found on Ebay, I have a spare 150mb drive if you need it. They are quite quick all things considered, and some of the ESDI controllers had pretty good hardware acceleration features in

I'm getting back to trying to restore my MicroVax II.  Existing controllers are ESDI and MFM, disks hard to find. So I would like to convert a brand-new DQ703 I have to SQ706 so I can mount SCSI disks. I understand it is just  a prom change. Does anybody have any info, or perhaps a PROM image?
