Dilog boards...

[Pierre Gebhardt]

Lyle,

I tried to reach someone at dilog.ch (the european branch office) to obtain a manual for the
Dilog DQ3256 controller ( a very good SMD-E Controller), but unfortunately, nobody answered.

I just gave it e try, as I heard, that they still sell and even produce some qbus and unibus boards.
Maybe, I should write to dilog.com instead of dilog.ch?

Regards,

Pierre
