Dilog boards...

[Lyle Bickley]

I was recently scanning the web for a Dilog SCSI board and stumbled across a 
"DLI Dilog" web site: http://www.dilog.com/unibus.html

I called and chatted with Jon Klotz - who turned out to be a founder and 
partner of the original Dilog back in 1978.  Amazingly, DLI Dilog still 
manufactures DILOG boards (mostly SCSI - but some serial) primarily for 
government accounts.

As one might expect, the price of new boards is prohibitive for most of us as 
collectors ($2,500 or so for a SCSI Unibus or QBus board).  They don't stock 
boards - they manufacture them from scratch when they get an order!!!  They 
are capable of manufacturing a brand new board for every product that Dilog 
ever produced!

Jon was great to chat with and knows a lot of interesting DEC history!

I was just sorry he didn't have a stack of used boards he wanted to part 
with ;-)

Cheers,
Lyle
