Miss categorized DEC box on ebay

I've never seen a blue tinted front cover from DEC. I've never seen one like that with screw holes exposed from the front. And if you look real close it appears to have little rubber feet on the bottom. Which still leaves the question of what if anything is inside that box. $250 is a lot to pay for a QBUS backplane and a PSU. I've paid less for entire running systems. bill ________________________________ From: cctalk <cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org> on behalf of Noel Chiappa via cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2017 11:07 AM To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Cc: jnc at mercury.lcs.mit.edu Subject: Re: Miss categorized DEC box on ebay I assume that was 'third party'? No, that's a real DEC front panel. They could have put that on an off-brand chassis, but I would _guess_ not. (The outer housing I can see looks like the slide-in ones DEC used to hold the BA11-N/BA11-S, but I don't recall what the housing for the BA11-M's looked like.) For some reason the BA11-M's seem to have been going for more than the BA11-N's. Dunno why, maybe the original LSI-11's have some sort of appeal? Noel
