Jerome Fine replies:

It depends on how much your are willing to pay! Unfortunately,
most SCSI interfaces for the Qbus are still hundreds of dollars.
And for a 3400, the only model that I know of is the CQD 223/M
made by CMD. There may be others that will also fit the Qbus,
but the 3400 backplane required a filler board and the extra
bulkheads. It would be helpful if anyone else on the list can
suggest another less expensive alternative. Note that if you also
want SCSI tape interfaces, the model is CQD 223/TM.

Sincerely yours,

Jerome Fine
