> I'm not exactly sure if Qbus needs terminators like Unibus
The termination issues are different. In general, with single-box
Q-bus configurations there aren't any worries about termination,
as the box designers took care of this for you. Once you get out
of the realm of "toy" machines and into serious Q-bus configurations
with multiple chained backplanes, termination issues do become
very important.

You want to look at Micronote #29, _Q-bus Expansion Concepts_. The
Micronotes are available from:
http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/hardware/micronotes/numerical/
A question for the net-savvy (of which I am certainly not one; I've
tried
http://www.slashdot.com/ without any success - all I get is
"404 Not Found" errors!): I've submitted
the above index to the Micronotes to many search engines - most
notably Altavista - but none of them have indexed any of the text
files, containing the actual information, referenced in the
index. Can anyone figure out why?
