Hello Chuck,
I didn't know such a cpu existed. Is it actually qbus? Some of the
cpus I have seen on Ebay look like a Qbus card with a plastic connector
rather than a card edge. I was under the impression that after the
KA660? that DEC went to a design that wasn't really Qbus, for the cpu.
I am just going by what I see on Ebay, Though. What's the real story on
this?

Hi Everyone, on my wish list is a KA694. This was the CPU in the VAX
4000/705a and is basically the fastest Q-bus enabled VAX you could buy. It
bookmarks the series (which starts with the MicroVAX I).
I've got other VAXen I could trade for it including 4000/200 or a VLC or a
3800, etc. So if you are looking to round out your collection here's your
chance! :-)
