im quite familiar with the lsi11 and q bus
never was a great fan of the data general nova machines.
They had nice features and some crocks. The 'increment memory location'
via DMA was useful for making multi-channel analyzers and photon
counting imagers. Their use of mostly standard parts was a real plus.
You could make good money by buying a minimally stuffed board and
loading it fully, once you knew how. The company management sucked, top
to bottom, with the sole exception of an ex-Tek sales engineer.
FWIW,
