No I didn't :-) Someone else wrote that,
I merely replied in the affirmative!

TC ones are indeed quite rare. But DELQAs are
quite often to be seen on ePay (don't look
now - there's one up for $99!). If I ever come
across my box of Qbus bits I'll keep you in
mind and see if there's a DELQA in there.

I'm not wure why you would want to upgrade
your kit anyway. The VAXstation and MicroVAX
range are all limited to 10Mb ethernet. Even
the TC cards I know of (i.e. are supported)
are 10Mb. And mostly they have trouble
driving 10MB to the limit! The IPXs
are no better AFAIK :-)
