Yes,

The KFQSA controller is the one you want.  They are not
so easy to find however.  I've got one that I've got up
and running with NetBSD 1.4.1, thanks to help from Chuck
McManis and Allison Parent.  I've also got a Vax 4000
with integrated DSSI, and I haven't even tried to netboot
it yet.  I assume that will work, it's just that NetBSD
can't talk to that pile of disks in there.  It's runs
VMS very nicely though.  ;>
