Hi!

DSSI. KZQSA would be SCSI.

Every VAX can (I'm not aware of one which can't). Just enter boot xqa0 at
the command prompt (to boot from a DEQNA).

I don't know the MV3300, but on my MicroVAX II the rotary switch is to
select the Baudrate.

www.vaxarchive.org???

Yes... I don't know on which mailinglist it was. Either it was classiccmp
or port-vax, but the Pinout-List came through on of the lists 2 weeks ago
(or something like that). But you should find the info you need on
www.vaxarchive.org (Pinouts, too).
