That is
bad. I dont know if it is possible to operate the KA630 CPU
board without the bulkhead.
What type of enclosure do you have?
How much RAM?
Have a look at http://www.vaxarchive.org/ for further hardware
information.
also does anyone have a MV-II ethernet board?
I
have several of them, in my several QBus VAXen and PDP11s. :-)
What you want is a DEC DELQA card, Type M7516 or M3127.
or any other interesting MV-II boards :)
Depends on your needs. Perhaps a QDSS accelerated framebuffer? :-)
I'd love to get these up and running. I got a
SCSI card
fo unknown manufacture (haven't id'd it yet)
Oh! You are in BIG luck!
These cards are rare and one of the most
wanted parts for QBus machines.
and am hoping to get this
beastie up and running soon :) what OS can I run on it???
VMS, Ultrix, NetBSD,
4.3BSD-Tahoe, 4.3BSD-Reno, ???. My recomendation is
NetBSD, as it is my prefered OS.
