Any disk capable SCSI card will work for the RRD42 or RRD43. A Viking QTD 
card can be had from re-sellers on the net. Or you can wait for one to fall 
out of the sky (happens a lot around scrap yards). Needless to say these 
cards also enable one to use cheap and plentiful SCSI disks on your VAXen 
so are greatly cherished by those of us keeping VAXen alive :-)
