Keywords:


 Some specifications on the DELUA-M, the DELNI replacement from DEC .

 Physical Specs:

	 Single Hex module with distribution panel kit.DMR-11 type distrib panel
	 Power - 8.0 Amps @ 5.0VDC
		 1.0 Amps @ 1.0VDC (used only for transceiver power)
	 Load - 1 UNIBUS DC load
		4 UNIBUS AC load

Hardware Specs:

	MPU based design (unknown which DEC mpu, J11?? maybe)
	80 kb RAM for buffers (Hooray!)
	Onboard DMA Controller. DMA controller can see host memory.
	Multiple address filtration capability :
		Promiscuous mode
		All Multicast AND one physical address
		Up to 10 Multicast AND one physical AND broadcast
		One physical AND Broadcast
	Same microdiagnostics capability as DEUNA
	Same remote boot , etc, as DEUNA
	Able to monitor transceiver's self test signal (with H4000 xcvrs)

Notes:

	The specs say that multiple DELUA-M's may be operated in one host, but
	that DECnet requires each DELUA to be connected to a seperate net.

	Programming interface is almost compatible with DEUNA code. AS far as
	DEC will go is to say that, if you use their device drivers, you will
	have no problems , yet if you have you own drivers, they will require
	some modifications. No, I don't know exactly which modifications yet .

Availability of Software :

	VAX/VMS	Q3/86
	VAX Ultrix Q3/86

Availabilty of Hardware :

	Q3/86

Price: 3500.00 USD

That's about it. As usual I disclaim all the standard options, including
knowledge , perserverance and malice aforethought...
