An M5976 KZQSA is not MSCP compatible so it wouldn't do any good with a
PDP-11 system. It's really only useful for RRD4x SCSI CD-ROM drives with
VMS on a VAX 4000.

If you can physically fit it into a older Qbus backplane and sort out the
cabling it should work

I think that settled that debate! haha

I'm looking after a VAX 4000 for a friend, which has a SCSI Q-bus card
(M5976). If the card did not have the large metal face, would it work in
a Q-bus PDP-11? We are not going to potentially ruin a card by trying
this, but I am interested to know if this is the case.
Thanks,
Aaron.
