The RKV11 controller is somewhat rare (and only supports 16-bit DMA, intended for an LSI-11) and there is no Qbus version of the RK611 controller. > Alternatively, has anyone ever tried to use a parallel ZIP-100 on a PDP-11? I am not aware of anyone using parallel ZIP drives on anything but a PC parallel port. The SCSI ones work fine on pretty much any machine with SCSI (Amiga, Macintosh...) and I know they've been used in a PDP-11, but as you said, Qbus SCSI controllers are expensive. -ethan
