DEQNA cab kit wiring
Does anybody have a wiring diagram? I have one with two broken wires! Or a photo of the BERG connector as long as the colour code is consistent :-) Thanks in advance, Nigel -- Nigel Johnson, MSc., MIEEE, MCSE VE3ID/G4AJQ/VA3MCU Amateur Radio, the origin of the open-source concept!

RE: DEQNA cab kit wiring
I don't have anything for the DEQNA, but the cable info I've seen for DELQA has the comment "this one would probably work for a DEQNA, too." The document I grabbed from http://antinode.info/dec/delqa_cable.html says: 29 December 1996. SMS. DELQA (DEQNA?) Ethernet Cabinet Kit Cable This document describes the cabinet kit for a DELQA Q-bus Ethernet interface board. The kit comprises the AUI connector and fuse assembly at the bulkhead panel, and the cable from the bulkhead panel to the DELQA board. The kit for a DEQNA was similar, and this one would probably work for a DEQNA, too. The connector at the board end of the cable is a 2x12 position, 0.1-inch pitch female. The corresponding connector on the DELQA (M7516[YM]) is a 2x10 male. The outer two pairs of hole on the female connector are unused, but the male connector accomodates the 2x12 female connector. The pin numbers shown below are for the 2x10-pin male connector on the board. The AUI connector is a DB15-S (female). The fuse on the bulkhead panel near the AUI connector is a 1.5A, 25V, slow-blow.

As the author (dimly) recalls, the DEQNA cabinet kit cable had one fewer wire, presumably not a very important one.
Re: DEQNA cab kit wiring
Thanks for the outstandingly-quick response! I had already buttoned up the cab and put it aside for another day. Thanks also for the link to a site I did not know about, I'll bookmark it for later browsing. Soldering iron on! cheers, Nigel Nigel Johnson, MSc., MIEEE, MCSE VE3ID/G4AJQ/VA3MCU Amateur Radio, the origin of the open-source concept!

The DEQNA cable details are (I think) here: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/qbus/MP01811_CKDEQNA_Qbus_Ethernet_Cable.pdf The DELQA may well be subtly different. I think I have a DELQA cab kit left and maybe I can take a photo tomorrow. I'll look for a DEQNA one too, but they may all be long gone now. (I also looked at the DEQNA UG but I couldn't find wiring details in there ... but it was a very quick look). Antonio -- Antonio Carlini anto...@acarlini.com
Re: DEQNA cab kit wiring
Thank you for that. Another list member sent me the DELQA drawing and it appears to be the same as my DEQNA - so I have soldered the wires back on and am awaiting a chance to test it with MAINDECs cheers, Nigel Nigel Johnson, MSc., MIEEE, MCSE VE3ID/G4AJQ/VA3MCU Amateur Radio, the origin of the open-source concept!
