So anybody know where I can get SCSI adapters for my Mvax IIs????

There were 2 popular ones:

Dilog SQ739 and a CMD one (sorry model name escapes me, you can lookup
using Q-BUS OR QBUS AND CMD AND SCSI)

The Digital ones were crippled and only worked on a small set of
devices. The SQ739 allows you to boot from the drives. The drives appear
as RA drives to VMS (eg: no special drives on VMS, VMS just things their
are native MSCP devices).
