I can't find my DHS32/DST32 docs right now but it's probably a simple 
re-spin of the DSH32.

I think that the DST32 was the uVAX2000 option and the DSH32 was for the 
uVAX 3100 series.

My notes say that my MicroVAX 2000 has a DST32 (54-17230) but the 
preliminary version of EK-283AA-AD-001 is for the DSH32 and that talks 
about the MicroVAX 2000!

I think that in the lab at DEC I used a modem eliminator (I used to 
support all of the synch devices supported by VAX WANDD). I may even 
have some of those modem eliminators in the garage.


Just to double check ... you definitely have synch boards and not (for 
example) 8-way asynch lines? There were a whole bunch of designators 
that were so very close: DST32, DHT32, DSH32, DHW41, DSW41!
