I don't see it where I looked here:

How the hell did I miss *that*? Cool beans
device, I've never heard of a VS100. Was it in a Rainbow sized box or a Pro/350 box?
Smaller. I have access to one to take pictures and dump the firmware

I don't have a VS100, so I cannot dump the ROMs. But if anybody has
ROMs to read but no reading device, I'd offer to dump those.

I gave my VAXstation 100 system unit to Dave McGuire last year (I
didn't need it since I lost interest in UNIBUS sized hobby equipment).
Perhaps he could make a copy of its ROMs.

Thanks! I asked, and he said he's willing to dump the ROM.

23-288E4.bin and 23-289E4.bin are probably the two main ones you are
looking for. Do you just need the ROMs or are you looking for technical
info on the VAXstation 100? I may be able to help.

Thank you very much! My idea is to make a VS100 emulator and have it
run the firmware uploaded by early X versions. But I have some other
things going on now, so it will have to wait. I'd be grateful for any
help; I may well get in touch in the future.

It's just a vague idea. It's much too early to say I have any kind of
plan in place. I might use SIMH, or something like Musashi, or write my
own in adjunction to my VT52 and VT100 simulators. I suppose the Unibus
interface to a VAX host would favour use of SIMH, in which case the
VS100 would look like a SIMH device with a 68000 inside.

What kind of emulator are you planing? A completely new thing? Or do
