I managed to get an ALPHAserver 1200. Unfortunately, it has just the
short-bus SCSI controller for the CD and one internal device. The
BA35x-style shelf in the front is apparently split-bus, so I suppose I
could install a couple of PCI-card SCSI controllers, each one allowing
me to use part of the front shelf and whatever I hook up at the back
(total of 15 devices per bus, I assume).

I could get a Qlogic (QLA12160/66) dual ultra wide SCSI PCI controller.

A search turned up this:

   http://groups.google.de/group/comp.os.vms/browse_thread/thread/bfe902f65434ab56/f1fe61ad9d0ff639?q=%2212160%22&rnum=4&hl=de#f1fe61ad9d0ff639

$ search SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]SYS$CONFIG.DAT;1 12160

on VMS 7.3-2 returns

   device = "Qlogic ISP12160 Ultra160"

So, what are my chances of plugging the Qlogic (QLA12160/66) dual
ultra wide SCSI PCI controller into the ALPHAserver 1200 running
VMS 7.3-2 and getting it to work?

What would be the easiest/cheapest possibility to install a PCI card in
this machine? It's just a hobbyist machine so official support is not
an issue, as long as it works reliably. Allegedly the newer ALPHAs use
"industry standard PC-style PCI hardware", whatever that means. Do I
stand a chance of buying a controller at a department store or somewhere
like that at a reasonable price and have it work?
