I have ("somewhere") doccumentation for:

DEQNA
DELQA
DELQA-Plus
                            ^^^^       (Original name by DEC)
I guess the latter is -YM,

The more modern ones can also be found in newer uVAX:en like 3500, but then with S-handles, perfect for a PDP 11-53, but most other chassies would require some mechanical work done to the PCB in order to remove handles...

Give me an E-mail shout if needed,

I recall that the DELQA is more "modern" and better i some way, are they
also more prone to failure?
No. From a reliability point of view, I've not heard that either should
be better or worse. However, the DEQNA is rather buggy in its general
performance.
    Side-by-side, the DELQA is quite a bit faster than the DEQNA, the
DELQA-YA ("Turbo DELQA") even more so.

    That said, the DELQA has a "DEQNA compatibility mode"...whether that
makes it as slow and/or buggy as the DEQNA, I don't know.
