Anyone on list familiar with the various Qbus/Unibus convertors
that can help with this problem? Actually two, I'm trying to connect
one Unibus expansion chassis to a Qbus host, PDP11/83. I've
another Unibus chassis which I'd like to mate with a mVAX4100.

I have the DEC M8217 and Able 10340 convertors but have not
been able to find any documentation on either. Would either of
these work or do I require a different product. I know Able made
at least 4 of these variants. Able has not been very helpful in the
past,
general response going something like ...... we have a manual
that may answer your question, its only $100..........

It just occured to me, I think the Able boards were meant to be
plugged to the Qbus side, my situation requires a Unibus board,
at least in the case of the 4100 project.

Also, my 4100 manual completely glosses over its Qbus capability.
Anyone know the p/n and or pinouts for the 4100 Qbus cable?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
