DEQNA M7504 board

The Digital ETHERNET Q-Bus Network Adapter (short, and usual, name DEQNA) was DEC's first QBUS to Ethernet network interface. It was a dual card, the M7504.

To pack all the functionality required onto a dual card (the early DEUNA takes two hex cards to hold the equivalent functionality), a number of complex chips are used:
