I use (and recommend to my clients) the Andromeda SCDC series
of SCSI controllers.   It emulates a standard DEC "DU" device
for disks and an "MU" device for tapes.   All configuration
can be done either from the system console (including VAXstations)
or via a terminal connected to the controller.   However,
the feature I like best is the company's policy of free
microcode updates 24 hours a day via modem.

They have models for both "skunk box" (BA2xx) and the older
Q-Bus enclosures.   While they normally sell in quantity
to OEMs and distributers, they will cheerfully sell single
units to individuals.   For information and prices, contact:
