Memory parity exception... Eat foot time.
DELQA M7516 is 68k and lance chip... had to pull mine to check. The M7504
however I am correct as I pulled one down from the shelf before dining on
foot. Oh and the reson I forgot it's 68k, was the DELQA is far more
reliable! that and I only open the BA123 one a year to check the fans and
clean dust. It just don't break. ;)

The DELQA was not 68000.
Hate to turn this into a "no it isn't, yet it is" sequence, but all
my DELQA's have prominent 68000's on 'em.
The board was far to small for that
No, it isn't. The 68000 is the quad pack, and is smaller than either
of the two custom gate arrays that does the Q-bus handshaking.

In article by Eric Edwards:
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but you
can build a working 2.9
kernel (sans network) from the sources by just commenting out the references
to the networking include files. I think there is an offending reference in
syslocal.c also.

What is happening is that `make depend' invokes a script which finds
#includes in the source code, and builds a make dependency. However,
it's not very intelligent, and doesn't ignore:
#ifdef INET
#include <stuff>
when INET isn't defined. :-) This bites on several C files.
You just have to hand-prune the Makefile after make depend :-)
This is 2.9BSD, BTW, ignore if you're not using it.
Ciao!

DELQA is not 68k, The DEUNA is. The DELQA is a cost reduced version
(less buggy too) of the DEQNA and is largely logically the same as the
DEQNA.
Really? I have a DELQA sitting right in front of me, and when I look at
it, the large chip definitely says M68000. What could that be then?

The DELQA was not 68000. The board was far to small for that and had to be
Qbus dual width and compatable with DEQNA. I have a few of them in my vaxen
too. The Unibus versions DEUNA and the later DELUA were 68k and very good.
Hate to disagree with you, Alison. The the DELQA really is 68000, take a
peek inside yourself. It is a dual-width too...
And the DEUNA is T-11, while the DELUA is 68000.
I have never bothered plugging in any DEUNAs myself, since DELUAs are
pretty common, and they atleast are pretty good. Never had any problems
with any of them.
