All but the processor board is built by Sigma System in Anaheim, CA. I
think it's an 11/23 clone system.
The owner said all of the boards were not dec, but the processor.
They built a Qbus system very much like the DEC one but w/o some of the
hard to find things DEC only built.
thanks

A wide ask here so please boost: my grandfather is trying to get rid
of an old business computer, and I was wondering whether any vintage
computer people might want it. It was purchased for $50k from The
Ultimate Corporation in the early 80s. This ran the Pick operating
system, and my best guess is the hardware was originally manufactured
by GE or Honeywell. It's about the size of a half-rack and currently
lives in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. It has sat covered in plastic in
a chemical warehouse for the past 35 years. Where do people usually
post stuff like this other than here? Thanks!

The card cage has a VERY strong DEC look to it - probably LSI-11.
