have the parts though. I don't happen to have the pinout handy.
Hi Zane; I don't understand; Jim and Chuck said that the pin-out was
standard... why do you need a special cable?
You'll want a copy of the following file. It
won't help much/any for 3rd
party boards but you should find most DEC Q-Bus and Unibus boards listed.

The good news is this is a DELQA, which is the ethernet controller still
supported under OpenVMS.
Thanks for the pointer!
The RD53 is ~73Mb, normally though it's a paper
weight. I've gotten 3 of
them that worked, the next day two of them didn't. DO NOT TRUST THIS DRIVE.
Unfortunatly it doesn't sound as if this system has a TK50 drive, they're
kinda hard to miss ;^)
Yes, there's nothing but the hard drive in the front.
Well, assuming the CPU card is a KA630, you've got
a MicroVAX II like you
said ;^) Nice machines. I don't think you mentioned which chassis you've
got, but something tells me it might be a BA23 instead of the larger BA123.
How can you tell one from the other? This has four horizontal front bays
and one vertical; it is rated at 8.8A, 690W at 120V. The whole thing
measures about 24" (height) x 13" (width) x 27" (depth)
