Can a Q777 be removed from a Rev11 / 9.34 Series III?

2015-07-14 by chaworth01@googlemail.com

Hi all,

Not much activity on the forum these days, so hoping that a few are still hanging around!!

I'm going through a full service of my Series III at the moment and in the interests of log-term reliability and power consumption, I'm removing all cards and devices that are not necessay to it's day-to-day operation (such as the floppy contoller and drive).

With this in mind, does anyone know if it is possible to remove the Q777 card? To be honest, whilst I'm aware that for the earlier revisions it held the SCSI device firmware, I'm not sure what it's role is in a latter spec Series III, given that the CMI41 and TS-1 are handing SCSI activities. All I know is that the machine won't work without it!

Any advice would be welcome.
