Ahhh, so if I am interpreting you correctly, I can merely set the ID of
the RRD42 to 4 (where it usually is) and hang it off my Dilog SCSI card?
Gee, if that is the case, that is quite fortunate.  I was thinking it
required a special cdrom card on the Qbus.

As to scsi tapes like the Cipher 9 track decks with single-ended scsi,
why or why not could they also not be hung off the disk scsi bus?
The Dilog card has 7 ID's it can handle, if memory is correct.
I was thinking scsi tape decks on Qbus also required special tape
adapters.  If not, again, that would be quite fortunate.

Would that also suggest I could stick an Exabyte 8200/8500 tape or a
9/18 track 1/4 inch streamer tape like an Archive or Wangtek transport,
on the Dilog card, too?

This is getting informative?
