The Q bus MV2 won't take the Unibus DELUA. The old DEQNAs still work,
but DEC has promised they won't in the next major VMS release, and so
after much pressure from ANGRY users now has a trade-in program where
you get the NEW DELQA for $600. The new card comes first, and you must
return the old or be billed for the full $3k-$4k or whatever the DELQA
normally costs. This program ends soon...

So obviously you need a DELQA, or the DESQA version which has the MV3
type metal faceplate and a built in BNC'd tranceiver as well as the AUI port.

As for S/W, we are VERY happy with TGV's MultiNet. I don't have their
phone # handy, but you can send mail to: vance@tgv.com
