Unsurprisingly the DEQNA card in my PDP-11/73 is quite unstable and
results in 2.11BSD panicing. Is there anything that can be done about
this? Other than unplugging it that is... I don't think there very much
broadcast traffic making its way to the PDP. It's usually when I'm
transferring files.
If not, does anyone have a DELQA card they would be willing to part with
(preferably in the UK) for a sensible price?
Thanks,
Aaron.

Not in the UK, but Mitch Miller at Keyways Inc (keyways.com) has tested/working cards at
reasonable prices. I had the same issue on a recent MicroVAX II upgrade, I replaced a
incompatible DEQNA with a DELQA. I?ve bought near a dozen cards from him, honest dealer
and experienced with DEC stuff.

He's near me (about 90 minutes West). I used to run into him at
computer shows/hamvention in Dayton. He is definitely experienced and
trustworthy. He has some stratospheric prices on some items, but
those are typically the prices and items for businesses with immediate
need and someone to stand behind the product. I haven't purchased
from him recently (since the Dayton Computer Shows
ended) but I've
heard from others that he can be accommodating to hobbyists
where
possible.

Thanks both, yes I have spoken to Mitch a few times in the past and he
does seem like a nice / genuine guy. I will keep Keyways in mind. The
main annoyance for me is paying import tax but perhaps it won't be too
bad.
I think I do have a DELQA card but it is in a VAX 4000/300 and riveted
to a quad width frame.
