based machine. But none of them brings that power in that small
footprint and is easy to interface to lots of storage, i.e.
SCSI.

Obviously you have to have a Qbus extension cable and
some way
of connecting it - the easiest way is a VAX 4000-1xx cab :-)
Well, the enclosure
is the same. It is only a set of additional
connectors on the back an internal cabling. At least I interpreted
pictures of a VAX4k105 this way. But all I need is the pinout.
Building some cables is no problem and I have a QBus backplane
from a dead and rotten BA23.
Sad that I
have not the QBus cabling for my MV3100m95. A 83
MHz NVAX (32 VUPs?) desktop VAX wirh QBus would be nice.
It would indeed. The VAX
4000-1xx range is something that
I only rarely got to play on. But there are plenty of
other Qbus boxes around.
