I can confirm it works in my A500+ with a GVP Impact Series-II + newest ROM image from here:

http://babel.de/amiga.html#gvp

Burnt and fed to it. Max multiple setting needed reducing from default with faster cards.

I can also confirm that it works in my VS4000-m90A off a BA350.

Sadly, I cannot test a Multia as I've not spotted one in the wild still functioning that's not already gone Chernobyl for at least 6-7 years.

Since this thread got dusted off, I'll throw in:

2x HP C8000, HP-UX 11i v1 (though one is mostly spare parts for the other, which is the one I actually use)
HP 9000/350 with 670H hard disk, 9.0 (I think), in the big metal tower enclosure with the hernia megapixel monitor

Toying with getting a small DEC Alpha server to run VMS. Recommendations solicited. Small is the key word. :mrgreen:

I appreciate it, but I went for the VAXstation someone here was offering. Not an Alpha, but still a nice system to run VMS on.

with a QBUS SCSI card

Oh my.... that was my "dream" card back in '95 for the uVAXII I had (in a BA23). So expensive then.. I guess now impossible to come by? AFAIK it was the only way to extend the disks in the machine beyond low capacity MFM... may be mistaken here but it has been 17 years

But thinking about the card still sends shivers down my spine.... ultra geeky I know.

ESDI and SMD controllers, even the KDA50 (RA-series drives) were all commonly used, but today they might as well be MFM...

However the SCSI cards do pop up from time to time. A quantity of them became available a couple years ago in a group buy (~US$250), and they continue to pop up on eBay ranging from "ouch" to professional reseller prices. Right now there's a Viking card offered for $150 with the necessary bits to turn it into a disk+tape controller (often models were sold that only did one or the other). Genuine DEC KZQSA's are still being offered for $105, but OS support may be limited.

Received one AlphaServer DEC 3000/800 AXP and two DEC 3000/600 AXP's, all rackmount variations, and very imposing!
I've only fired up the '800 so far which works just fine, they are all in excellent condition so I have high hopes for the other two.

I found that every time I took one of the DEC 3000 machines apart, my hands started bleeding. Watch out for that.
