It doesn't plug into a Q-bus backplane.  It's a Storageworks brick.  
Years back, when I still had hope for this machine, I looked up Q-bus 
SCSI controllers.  The price I was quoted was something around $4K.  
That was two orders of magnitude more than I'm willing to spend for 
this.  Now it's three orders of magnitude more than I'm willing to spend 
for this.  Soon, $1 will be more than I'm willing to spend for this.

Anyone want a VAX 4000m500A for the cost of packing and shipping?
