Are you sure the above boards are Q-bus? Generally, plugging Unibus boards
into Q-bus backplanes is a Bad Thing. Usually Emulex boards have
firmware revision stickers on EPROM's or PROM's that also give a clue
as to what they are? Any obvious headers?
Emulex did make a TC05 (QIC tape to TS11 emulation, which is badly
broken under NetBSD despite the FAQ's claim of support) and a SC03
(SMD to RH11-type-on-Qbus, not even claimed support.)

The QD33 is a QD33 :-). SMD to MSCP Q-bus board. Works quite nicely under
NetBSD.

Right.

DZV11. Supposedly supported by NetBSD.
