Yes, you can. The M9302 is in a 'Unibus Out', you can plug a Unibus cable in there to link to an expansion box. The official way (as I think I mentioned the other day) involved special dual-height cards at each end with 3 40-way Berg-type cables linking them. But the cards were just connectors, not even buffer chips. It being easier to route 40 way ribon cables through the cable pan rather than a BC11A... > already installed in the CPU cabinet?

It could, other than the fact that I would like to keep it in the half-rack, so I would have to remove the TS05 drive to have somewhere to fit the expanison box. In any case the TSU05 could go in said expansion box if I ever need it, I think. My TS05 needs a bit of work to get it going, and I do wonder how useful it would be. Any comments? -tony
