  I just got a couple of system industries cabinets, each with a 330mb smd
drive and a qda50 controller.  My question is, what is the qda50? is it
supposed to emulate (from a software pt of view) a uda50 on qbus systems?
Is it then software compatible with the kda50????

  Here's the plan: I've got a US Design Microvip  (Microvax 1 with 2mb ram,
scsi adapter, 140mb drive, and 1/4" tape drive).  I'd like to be able to 
connect the two smd drives to the microvip, but I'm not sure how.  I might
be able to get a qbus smd controller, but it seems like the qda50 might
be trying to do the same thing.  What, do I just run a cable from the QBUS
to the silly qda50, or do I need a card in the qbus to convert the signals
to then go into the si cabinet and (finally) come out smd????????

Extremely confused

ps if you have a qbus ethernet board and would rather have a unibus one, I'm
just the guy to talk to!
