The rest work the same. They use the same drivers, both in DECnet and in
plain
RSX. (Yes, there is an ethernet driver for Unibus, that you can use if
you
have the controller, but do not want DECnet.)

What're the differences between the two again?   I have a DEUNA for my
11/44 I still need to get rolling.

    The DELUA is one board, while the DEUNA is two, I can tell you that much.

Right. In addition, the DEUNA have a PDP-11 at the heard, while the DELUA have
a 68K.

An -11 powering the NIC for a bigger -11.   neat. ;)

So, at the microcode level, they are totally different.
The DELUA also have a better ethernet controller (a LANCE chip).

In short, the DELUA is improved in most ways. But it's fine details.
