Hi

Thanks to everyone for answering so promptly - really appreciate that.

In response to Michael Kukat's question the machine is the "desk-side"
unit and (once I have disks installed!) intend to run OpenVMS 7.3
hobbyist license. There's no additional boxes or QBUS doo-dahs attached
to it's just what-ever is in the case. It does seem to have two
M3119-YA although I have no plans to connect any additional async
devices.

>From everything else sounds like the best bet is a HSD-xx so I'll start
looking although I'm intrigued by David's MSCP Scsi controller - are
there any details anywhere?
Once again thanks to everyone - no doubt I'll need a lot of guidance.

The webpage is at http://www.geocities.com/mscpscsi/
There are many loose ends that need to be fixed.
