VAX & PDP-11 Stuff To Clean Out
I have the following 5-1/4" Drives that I would like to get rid of. These have all been working at one time or another, but I have no idea what condition they are in now. Maxtor EXT 4330 Seagate ST4766N Hitachi DK516-12 Maxtor XT-8760E Maxtor XT-4170E I also have the following QBUS cards to part with.

VAX & PDP-11 Stuff To Clean Out
Most of the items are spoken for but I still have the following: Caminton CMX1651 Memory M7606-AF KA630 CPU M7620-AA KA650 CPU M8067 Memory M7168 VCB02 Bit Map M7169 VCB02 Controller M7608-BP MS630BB 4-Meg Memory M7608-BP MS630BB 4-Meg Memory SCD-RQD11/EC ESDI Controller ...so, mainly the VAX stuff. Priority goes to local pickup. I've had all of these boards working at one time or another but I can't speak to their current status. David Coolbear da...@thecoolbears.org

Are you sure you won't ship the Maxtor ESDI drves? I have a microvax 2 here just crying out for them. Unfortunately CA is a five day drive away for me!

Traditional shipping involves a sturdy box with a couple of inches of foam inside holding the drive. Avoid loose fill like "foam peanuts". I once received an RP06 pack that came in a large box full of foam peanuts, but the pack had settled in the bottom corner and was dented on that side. paul

I bought a bunch of QBus boards from my recycler quite some time ago, but the systems that they'd been pulled from were run with SMD drives. Finding a working SMD drive is something of a challenge, but SCSI at least opens up possibilities of emulated storage (or real spinning rust, I may still have a suitable drive or two, albeit currently on the other side of the Atlantic) The two VCB02 boards have me intrigued, too :-) cheers Jules

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.

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.
Re: VAX & PDP-11 Stuff To Clean Out
I'm starting to get heavily invested in rebuilding my microvax 2, it would be a shame if the cpu failed, so I'd like to put my name down for the KA630 pcu card if nobody local wants it. cheers, Nigel On 08/11/2019 15:12, David Coolbear via cctech wrote: Most of the items are spoken for but I still have the following: Caminton CMX1651 Memory M7606-AF KA630 CPU M7620-AA KA650 CPU M8067 Memory M7168 VCB02 Bit Map M7169 VCB02 Controller M7608-BP MS630BB 4-Meg Memory M7608-BP MS630BB 4-Meg Memory SCD-RQD11/EC ESDI Controller ...so, mainly the VAX stuff.

Re: VAX & PDP-11 Stuff To Clean Out
I have a machine that needs these specific models of ESDI disk Nigel, I was hoping for them. Your Uvax can use plenty of different types.
