I am currently contemplating the purchase of a third party ESDI or SCSI disk subsystem to replace the dinky little RD53s on my MicroVaxII. I have received a couple of quotes from vendors for Q-bus SCSI disk subsystems and, to my surprise, they were about the same as ESDI. I would like to solicit responses from anyone who has a SCSI-based disk subsystem in use, particularly if you are already up and running VMS 5, or anyone who strongly agrees or disagrees with the statement "there is a future for Q-bus SCSI disk subsystems." ( 0.5 * :-) ) Email, please, and I will summarize and repost if requested. Thanks, -wiley (PS, Also, would you think there would be significant performance dif- ferences, assuming one big drive is attached? I am under the impression SCSI may be a bit slower, but not much..)
