The QBUS, previously known as the "LSI-11 bus", was intended as a cheaper alternative to the UNIBUS system by Digital Equipment Corporation.

It was widely used in PDP-11s and VAXen.

The bus had multiplexed address and data lines, and was available in 16-, 18-, and 22-bit configurations.

Important note: The 16-bit and 18/22-bit backplanes are electrically incompatible and mixing the two may damage cards on the bus.
