As Tom Lehrer not-so-delicately put it "more, more, more!  I'm still not
satisfied ..." :->.

My thanks to you and Bridgham (who has a second name, perhaps)!

Aren't we all! :-)

I think that was probably Brad Parker's prototype?

Available today, no. But there are a number of projects which will probably
be cranking out UNIBUS DEC controller emulators with modern storage
backends.
I gather Guy's MEM11 project will probably eventually spin off a version
with a larger disk, and Bridgham and I are planning on doing a UNIBUS
version of our card once the QBUS version is done. (Actually, ours is
planned to include an ENABLE too, with 4MB of memory, for those of us with
34's, 40's, 45's,
etc.) Any more?
