    I just got a question on which I could not find an answer on both
    Altavista search and in here.
    So here it is.

6397.2	KZQSA, or KFQSA/HSDxx	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Fri Feb 14 1997 12:08`	18
	: Is TLZ09 supported on MicroVAX II and if yes, what controller is ot be : used. The only two possible Digital controller choices for connecting SCSI tapes to the Q-bus are the KZQSA, or the KFQSA and an HSDxx. The KZQSA is not viable, supported, or suitable for use with SCSI magnetic disks -- it works reliably with SCSI CD-ROM and SCSI tapes only... This does not imply support nor successful operation of this config. Personally, I'd replace that MicroVAX II with something a little more current -- that platform does not have a native SCSI adapter. It's also old and slow -- I'd look at a VAX 4000-10x series for a Q-bus upgrade or complete replacement.
