Hello all,
I am in the process of acquiring a MivroVAX II, and I
have decided that I would like to connect the MicroVAX to the
PDP-11/84 and the three AT-clones in my basement via ethernet.
Currently everything is standalone, so I have to start
from scratch.
I have looked through some old DECdirect catalogs to
get an idea of what to look for, and I think I found it:
(pardon the ASCII representation)
Thinwire ethernet with 'T's
50ohm __ _______ ______ ______ ______ ______ _____ 50ohm

DEQNA DEUNA DSRVA-AA
MVII 11/84 with assorted
(BA23) terminals/
printers/
and a modem for
dialing out
What I am looking for is just about everything you see in
the diagram. I need a DEQNA (I will be running VMS 5.3),
DEUNA, three DECnet-DOS supported boards (like the DEPCA
or 3COM Etherlink boards), DSRVAA DECserver 100, three
DESTA's, and assorted wire and T's.
Ethernet II is fine with me, as I won't be running anything
new enough that will be 802.3 (I don't think so anyway,
but I could be wrong.) .
If anyone has any of this equipment sitting around,
let me know. I don't have an exhorbitant amount of money,
but I do know a bargain when I see one.
And if anyone has any comments/suggestions about Ethernet,
please let me know.
Thanks,
Chris Kalisiak
