I'm in the same boat. I have a DQ614 (rev unknown) that I got from a former
employer out of a DataRAM 11/23 clone. It also came with an industry-standard
8" floppy, all in a very un-DEC-like box. About the only DEC part was the
CPU. The rest was all third-party stuff.

I have never seen the diagnostic/format floppy for my DQ614.

Mine used to have a Rodime 10Mb drive on it, but the drive has never
worked with that controller for longer than I've had it. I'd be very
happy if it were possible to use an ST-251 or such.

Thanks for any tips.
