	Anyone have experience with Qbus/Unibus converters for the
Microvax II ? I know of the ABLE Qniverter2 and the Microverter but
am unsure as to the hardware and software compatibility.

	Specifically, I would like to run an Ikonas/Adage frame buffer
and a Megatek vector graphics scope off a MVAX II running Ultrix/UNIX.
These two DMA graphics devices have been running on a 4.2BSD VAX 780.
Will any driver changes be necessary ? Other problems ? Does the Qniverter2
emulate a UBA ?

	Thanks.
