IIRC the KZMSA is an XMI SCSI controller. The firmware for
this card is such that it won't work in a VAX (I don't know
the details but I expect that it has carnal knowledge of the
Alpha page table structure or some such).
IIRC some XMI cards come with two flavours of firmware and
can work in either VAX or Alpha - unfortunately this is
not one of them.
