I would like to connect a MicroVAX 3400 to an existing 3600 using DSSI to
form a VAXcluster with the 3400's RF71 disks being available to both CPUs
directly. I thought that this would just be a matter of purchasing a KFQSA
card for the 3600 (to interface it to the DSSI) and a long DSSI cable to
join the two systems.

Digital Sales say this cant be done due to an incompatibility between the
DSSI interface on the 3300/3400 CPU board and the KFQSA.

Does anyone know anything about this or tried something similar?
