Yes. There is SMD, SMD-0 and SMD-E, and different data rates. I don't
know the exact differences in SMD variations, but fortunately the QD33
supports the later variants:
     QD33 Q Emulex SMD controller for up to two SMD disks.
                     Supports SMD-0 and SMD-E, with data rates up to
                     24MHz for SMD-E. MSCP emulation. DMA
AFAIK my 9" 1GB NEC disks are SMD-E at 24MHz and they work well on the
QD33.
