I'm divesting myself of most of my q-bus stuff, starting with the
uVax board sets.
M7169 - 4-plane video controller module
M7168 - 4-plane color bitmap module (x2)
M7622 - 16-Mbyte RAM for KA650 (MicroVAX III) (x2)
M7625 - MicroVAX III CPU (workstation license), 60nS
M7606-EF Microvax II CPU
M7609 - 8-Mbyte parity 36-bit RAM for KA630 (MicroVAX II) (x2)
I also have the cable for the video card, and a couple of those
switch panels for the CPU's
I just need to unload this, make me an offer; would prefer to
sell the lot. I could also be bribed to ship this internationally;
make me a good offer, and maybe we can cut a deal.
Shipping will be from STockton, CA 95212 (USA)

New subject: DEC H960 Rack Connecting Brackets
I was able to get two H960 racks (Thanks Doc!) and what I am looking for now are the
brackets that connect 2 racks together. Does any one have any of these? Or have a photo
of what one looks like? Thanks.

There are two bars (about 6 ft long) less than an inch wide and 2 or 3
inches deep.
The front and rear are different. I think 4 or 8 set screws were used
to hold everything together. You can bolt them together without the
filler strips and it will still look pretty nice.

H960 Racks are a perennial problem to get hold of. However DEC rack mounting
OEM systems would go into non DEC supplied racks. Apart from DEC Racks
usually being painted black I believe most of the Beige bits would bolt onto
non DEC racks.
Does anybody have any experience of making non DEC sourced racks look like
DEC ones?

I have yet to find non DEC racks that'll fit and work nicely with a
H960. Everything I've tried, from early 2000s to current HP rack
mounting kits to late 2000s to current EMC kits simply don't work/fit
at all.

Interesting - I meant replacing the whole rack with a non-DEC one and then
making it look like a DEC one.
You make a good point about making the slides fit.
There is some basic compatability. For example an 11X84 cab is 42inchs = 24U
(42"/1.75)
Whilst it's not kosher I have on some non-DEC systems used fairly thick
aluminum angle to support a rack unit without slides. Drill to match the
position of the captive nuts and the front panel.

I apologize for creating disorder here-- tentatively,
the boards have been claimed; the original person
who expressed interest isn't answering my e-mails,
and this caused things to stall a bit, so I have
offered them to the next person.
Sorry guys, didn't intend to be flakey. . . .

I am going through my q-bus and micro-vax boards and have most CPU,
memory, interface and comm boards. I'll try to put a list togother a
list with cost next week, and am willing to ship overseas via USPS and
FED-EX air.
Also Lots of non-DEC- Dilog, etc
Please contact me off list
Finally unpacking a few more things!!!!

I have a few of those filler strips ...
The dimension that Paul gives is correct.
If you look at the end of such a filler strip, it has the shape of a "+",
but one side is a bit longer (+--). They are black, either made of plastic
(the ones I have) or black painted metal (seen just once!).
I guess the difference between the front filler and rear filler strip
is the length a small part of one side of the "+" is cut out. The short end
is on the outside, the longer end "points" toward the middle of the rack.
Maybe I will use the filler strips in the future. The problem with racks
bolted together is that they become a PITA to roll if you need to be
at the rear side. My systems all stand against a wall. If I ever get a
lot of room (...) the systems can stand free in the open space. Then
it sure is nice to have those filler strips installed.
Installation is easy: just two bolts at each end (top & bottom) of the
filler strip.
Sorry, never took pictures of them.
Given the size (approx 1.9 m long) they are not easy to ship either.
- Henk.

I have put up 3 pics of them, these can be found at

They are more likely to be about 175cm than 190cm, but that's a small

I happen to have 8 of them, 5 plastic ones and 3 metal ones.
