I read a web article the other day where the guy describes the
various forms of the Qbus and he also said that you could fry
certain cards when you stick'em in a wrong version of the Qbus.
Since I have a uVAX II and a PDP11/03 I would want to know if
I can mix and much cards with thoese busses or if I would fry
a K[ZF]QSA board sticking it into the wrong bus.
Also, why was the need for grant continuity cards an advantage?
The OMNIBUS didn't need it but the UNIBUS (and Q-bus?) do.
Also, what's the deal about grant continuity cards, they seem to
just have a few lines shorted. In the UNIBUS box next to my
VAX 11 it has some intermediary open slots but only one grant
card plugged in. How could that work? Also, why can you stick
1x or 2x cards into the different sections, is there a difference
where you put them? Why is the feed to the UNIBUS only a 2x card
and where must you plug that? Is it magic? Are there UNIBUS
backplanes with more than 9 rows?
so many questions :-)
