Lyle,
I tried to reach someone at dilog.ch (the european branch office) to obtain a manual for
the
Dilog DQ3256 controller ( a very good SMD-E Controller), but unfortunately, nobody
answered.
I just gave it e try, as I heard, that they still sell and even produce some qbus and
unibus boards.
Maybe, I should write to
dilog.com instead of dilog.ch?
Regards,
Pierre
I was recently scanning the web for a Dilog SCSI board
and stumbled across a
"DLI Dilog" web site:
http://www.dilog.com/unibus.html
I called and chatted with Jon Klotz - who turned out to be a founder and
partner of the original Dilog back in 1978. Amazingly, DLI Dilog still
manufactures DILOG boards (mostly SCSI - but some serial) primarily for
government accounts.
As one might expect, the price of new boards is prohibitive for most of us as
collectors ($2,500 or so for a SCSI Unibus or QBus board). They don't stock
boards - they manufacture them from scratch when they get an order!!! They
are capable of manufacturing a brand new board for every product that Dilog
ever produced!
Jon was great to chat with and knows a lot of interesting DEC history!
I was just sorry he didn't have a stack of used boards he wanted to part
with ;-)
Cheers,
Lyle
