No.  The cabling looks similar (one wide and one narrow cable)
but they do not work with each other.

If you can find a Webster/Sigma Q-bus ESDI controller, though,
you are in fat city.  When I moved off a RQDX3 and onto the ESDI
controller circa 1990, I was so happy.

Emulex ESDI controllers aren't too shabby either.  (Although I
far prefer the Websters.)
