Hi Bill,
I moved this thread so as not to hijack the other one. I looked at the
old articles in this group and you are right, it was a VAX, not a PDP11.
Do you know anything about a company called Cyon? I have a 68K QBus
board that has little text on it but Cyon PN 02-3000-01. It lived in a
case that looked like a VT100 with an HDA in the bottom and a small QBus
cage to the right of the CRT. The HDA was dead and I was low on space,
so the case and HDA went away. I searched some but never found anything
on it.

I have tried digging around but found nothing so far. I was hoping the
picture might give me some info to help with the search.

I tried reducing the image sizes and re-sending. The email name it was
sent under is bharbour, the domain is dakotacom and the extension is dot

Do you have any interest in these boards? I have been carrying them
around for 15 years now and all my other QBus stuff is gone.

Sure. I love playing with QBUS stuff and still have a bunch of boxes
to build systems in. How much? Hey, if I have the boards I don't need
the pictures. :-)
