I wouldn't mind an SDI controller, but (1) I wasn't aware that one 
exited (at least that the VAX 7000 console firmware could talk to) and 
(2) DSSI drives are less power hungry and I've got more of them.  I've 
got a pile of RA82s and a RA72 or two but no enclosure for the RA72s.

I wouldn't mind a SCSI adapter either, but the word on the street is 
that only the Alpha version will work with SCSI controllers (though I'm 
not sure I believe it).  And, I'd imagine that SCSI controllers would 
be in higher demand than DSSI controllers...
