Interesting (to me at least... we have numerous CAMAC crates here at Pole,
but the last MicroVAX was turned off several years ago).
A few month ago I acquired a VAXstation 3200.
There is one QBUS card in the system that I can't identify.
As far as I know the VAX has been used for measurement data aquisition
in a physics laboratory.
You have the Qbus part (KSC2922) of a KSC2922/3922, Qbus CAMAC
interface. CAMAC (Computer Automated Measurement And Control) is an
instrumentation system extensively used in the nuclear/high energy
area. What you need now is to find a CAMAC bin and the other
end of that
interface and you can become a nuclear terrorist ;))
Or a neutrino telescope operator (presuming you have several thousand cubic
meters of pure water or ice in your back yard. :-)
