Looking at the DS3662 specs (now sadly obsolete), I'm wondering if the
DS3896 would work. I'm not comfortable driving the unibus with a stock
TTL output (hah, *which* ttl? :-) since I'd like the slew to be more
controlled (ok, slower). The "trapazoidal" drivers make for a nicer
edge.

I have not looked at QBUS specs (yet). I seems the drivers may be the same.
Is it terminated the same as a unibus?
