John reminds me of something that I have been curious about.
The IFCTF was kind enough to let me see the sources to Ultrix-32.
[Note: I am in way associated with Mr. Sokolov. ;-) ]
It was only briefly, but I did notice that Ultrix-32 MIPS supports
the KZQSA. From what I could tell, the KZQSA is a Qbus to SII adapter,
with the SII set up for SCSI. NetBSD/pmax supports the SII. KZQSA's
are quite cheap. So.... can anyone comment on the possibility of
taking the SII/SCSI support from NetBSD/pmax, combining it with
Qbus for the VAX and producing a KZQSA driver for NetBSD/vax.

One more way to stamping out Qbus Disk Deficit Disorder.
