I am looking for documentation for the UNIBUS and the QBUS interfaces.
Where can i find something? (books, files, etc.)

Any help is much appreciated!

I have a DEC handbook (copyright 1979, I'm afraid) called PDP11 Bus
Handbook, which I have always used for that sort of reference.  It's
not beyond the bounds of probability that it's now out of print...  :-)

However, the preface has as its final paragraph:

  An excellent discussion of buses in general, and the UNIBUS and
  LSI-11 bus in particular, can be found in the book COMPUTER
  ENGINEERING, A DEC View of Hardware Systems Design, written by
  [Bell, Mudge, McNamara] ... Digital Press; ... 1978

(I'm sure DEC won't mind me infringing their copyright to that extent...
