On a related note, what kind of documentation is out there for the 
various oddball QBus to Unibus converters? I have at least two of the 
Plessy models that came from the USPS project in the 80's (they used 
pdp11/23 cpus in a Q bus backplane next to a Unibus backplane that had 
all the X.25 comm cards) but I haven't had a need to use them. I think 
they were at least 18 bit cards.

What else was there?
