If this is like my VAX 4000/500 systems:

QBUS "MSCP" (disk capable) SCSI controllers are hard to find and hundreds of 
dollars.

The route I'm trying to go is I picked up some HSD30 controllers on Ebay,
for $35-$45, which I can then supposedly connect regular SCSI disks to,
though I haven't gotten things set up and working yet this way.
