transceiver cables were still a pain). (Am I correct in recalling it

the DEQNA?).
DEQNA = Q-bus Ethernet (M7504), replaced by DELQA (M7516) and DESQA (M3127)
Maybe you meant DELNI = Digital Ethernet Local Network Interconnect,
which had 8 local AUI ports.
No, there was a box called DQUNA or something like that too-- I used DELNI
and DQUNA boxes at a medical diagnostics manufacturer. I think maybe one of
them was a thin-net concentrator???
