Do you still have Xenix?
That reminds me I need to dig out the Genix sources I have.
There were a couple of companies that made PC cards with the chipset on it, and
once company that made a Q-Bus
Bob Rosenbloom or Ian Finder might have one.
I forgot to inventory the ROMpacks in the 4054 that I sent to Ian and Bob
has a pretty big collection of 405x stuff.

I dug out the boards that I have to dump the eproms, and a while back put up
what I had for schematics on bitsavers.

And I think all the PDP-6's are gone, right?
