I see that the VS3520 is in a BA213 box (Q-bus), and it uses rz55 SCSI disks.
If it can do it, perhaps my MVII/GPX and VS3200 can do it too if I bought
the right Q-bus controller?  Then, I could buy the newer, cheaper RZ
disks for my Q-bus machines instead of the less cost-effective RD series
disks, and I wouldn't have to throw the disks out when I retire the MVII
machines.  I could move rz55 disks around between my VS3100's and my
Q-bus machines if/when the disks fail.  I could even keep a spare on hand.

Anyone have a VS3520/3540?  Does it have a SCSI Q-bus disk controller
that I can put in other Q-bus machines?
