Isn't the Q-Bus pretty much history at least where VAXen are concerned? 
  I don't recall any Q-Bus based Alpha machines.  I've no experience 
with Itanic but I suspect that it doesn't use Q-Bus, Unibus, or even BI bus.

It seems to me that the PCI bus has pretty much conquered the world at 
least for the present.
