If you can't find anything by next weekend contact me off list. I have a
couple Qniverters at home with the docs. I can't recall the # offhand but I
know they were used from a Qbus host to Unibus backplane.

Anyone on list familiar with the various Qbus/Unibus
convertors
that can help with this problem? Actually two, I'm trying to connect
one Unibus expansion chassis to a Qbus host, PDP11/83. I've
another Unibus chassis which I'd like to mate with a mVAX4100.
I have the DEC M8217 and Able 10340 convertors but have not
been able to find any documentation on either. Would either of
these work or do I require a different product. I know Able made
at least 4 of these variants. Able has not been very helpful in the
past,
general response going something like ...... we have a manual
that may answer your question, its only $100..........
It just occured to me, I think the Able boards were meant to be
plugged to the Qbus side, my situation requires a Unibus board,
at least in the case of the 4100 project.
Also, my 4100 manual completely glosses over its Qbus capability.
Anyone know the p/n and or pinouts for the 4100 Qbus cable?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Nick
