PDP-11 (Qbus) disk question

>I've got several PDP-11's, all unibus - that use the RQDX2 controller.

If you have Unibus, you can't possibly be using an RQDX2 controller.
RQDXn series was Qbus only... (the only Unibus machine it might
work in is the 11/84, but only in the qbus portion of the machine).

>A friend of mine just came up with a 380mb Maxtor ESDI drive. Will the
>RQDX2 support it?

No. You need an ESDI controller. Like the DEC KFQSA, or the Andromeda
ESDC, or an Emulex QD-22 (?)
