  Your best bet would be the "PDP-11 Bus Handbook", a blue paperback-sized
manual which is unfortunately out of print. I have seen copies at various
used book sales, though.

  For the Q-bus, many of the handbooks DEC still gives away contain a pass-
able description of the bus. Additionally, if you purchase a PDP-11 processor
manual for a recent CPU (11/83, 11/93) the same info is repeated in there.

  For Unibus it's a bit harder. Many of the Unibus CPU manuals contain a
summary of the bus signals, but don't really describe them in detail. You'd
need either the Bus Handbook or the guide that came with the "ChipKit" of
Unibus interface IC's (also discontinued).
