PDP-11 (Qbus) disk question

Just trying to keep you honest... :-)

Seriously, the comment still stands. The RQDXn controllers won't
handle ESDI. When you go looking for a controller, make sure it
is fast enough to handle the disks. About a year ago, I got an
ESDI controller for some disks, but it wasn't fast enough (at
10 Mbit/s) to handle the disk I had... But the Andromeda ESDC
(at 15 Mbit/s) worked just fine.

Oh yeah, I just realized I screwed up too... the KFQSA is DSSI,
not ESDI (so many TLAs, so little time)...
