I'm asking for some advice regarding larger (~1Gb) drives to put
in my MicroVAX.  We've got a uVAX 630 in a BA123 case, an
RQDX3 disk controller, and 3 RD54A (159Mb) drives.  I'd like to drop
in a SCSI controller and something on the order of a 1.2Gb SCSI
drive, with the option of removing one of the RD54's if necessary.
Being a novice at VAX configurations, I'd like to get an idea
of what SCSI controllers Ultrix 3 supports (and if Ultrix can boot off
them) and what controllers people recommend with respect to
price/performance, as well as what 3rd party sources would be good
for me to talk to.  Thanks for any help.
