UNIBUS extension card/cable sets Was: Looking for info on National Semiconductor RAM board (VAX 11/730)

[Alan Perry]

FYI, in my 750, the UNIBUS expansion has a L0010 in the main cabinet and 
a M9014 in the expansion cabinet. I didn't note the details of the 
cable(s) between the two when I did the inventory of my system.

On another topic, we had discussed me going through my B1000 stuff and 
Burroughs contacts to assist the buyer of that system that you 
facilitated. Unfortunately, all that I have come up with are dead ends. 
I found additional material, but is all pretty much now unreadable.
