Shipping and a six pack of beer? Send me your address, note that the
USPS is running slow for some reason but I can send it priority mail
international. Value... a six pack of beer?

Chris, if I had that ESDI drive I could at least get a system onto the
machine to explore further!
Where are you? Could you mail it to me in Toronto, Canada?
How much moolah do you need to do this?

Don't know much about the Dilogs (other than there were tape and disk
versions) but ESDI disks can still be found on Ebay, I have a spare
150mb drive if you need it. They are quite quick all things
considered, and some of the ESDI controllers had pretty good hardware
acceleration features in addition to block and burst mode DMA.

I'm getting back to trying to restore my MicroVax II. Existing
controllers are ESDI and MFM, disks hard to find.
So I would like to convert a brand-new DQ703 I have to SQ706 so I can
mount SCSI disks.
I understand it is just a prom change.
Does anybody have any info, or perhaps a PROM image?
cheers,
Nigel
