- PDP's can certainly interface with Ethernet. For unibus you have
- your DEUNA, an ugly slow (but solid) two-hex-wide card set, and
- the newer DELUA (don't know the size).I've seen the DEUNA for as little
- as $75, and the DELUA for maybe $750 to $1K. Others have discussed the
- Q-bus cards, of which there are quite a few. Given the software, I think
- any card will work for TCP/IP (which I use). Don't know about the DECNET
- issues, though.
-
- I use my DEUNA in an 11/44, with 22-bit addressing on an 18-bit
- Unibus. Anyone care to address the ramifications of using it on, say,
- a '34 with 18 bit memory space?
