The interface of choice from Digital at the present time for Unibus
machines is the DELUA.  The DELUA has far lower power requirements
than the DEUNA and only occupies a single hex slot.  In addition, it
has far greater performance than the DEUNA.  It is theoretically
software compatible with the DEUNA.  (Should run under 4.3 with the
deuna driver - can't speak from experience since our only DELUA based
machine is running Ultrix 1.2).  For more info, contact your local
Digital Sales Rep.
