In planning for an Alpha upgrade, we would like to maintain our existing Q-Bus
peripherals for as long as they last. It makes no sense to get TC or F+ 
interfaces for said peripherals, because they are old (in age and in technology).
The ideal solution would be to have a TC or F+ to Q-bus interface, thus using
our VAX3800 just like an expansion box( no, I do not want to make it part of 
the Cluster).
I believe there is such a beast for the VAX4000/100, and would like to know
if something similar is/will be available for Alpha systems.

thanks
