What part of what I wrote is unclear? The comment is most 11/53s I've
seen contained 11/23B cpus. that maybe "not as shipped" but very
commonplace.

Never said it was. I said many early 11/53boxen HAD 11/23s not they
shipped
with 11/23s. Seems they were fertile ground for modified systems.

I have it.

I did not realize your preservation efforts. If I donate this collection of
manuals and software, will you eventually make them available to all?
Some of the manuals I have are from 1969 and I also have some early DG direct
and some sales literature. The software is Nova 3 and 4 I believe. Haven't
looked at it in a while. I saved this stuff from the dumpster years ago hoping
to use it for trading fodder for DEC related stuff someday. Now I'm just glad I
saved it.

Oh Crap! Last week at a garage sale I passed over a box of DG-UX
software, thinking, "I'll never come across an Aviion".
Sorry!

Hi Joe,
Are you interested in parting with any of these? (My guess is that the
4025 is really a 4052.) I teach computational geography at UCLA and would
like these to work on and show my students.
Cheers,
Nick

Actually, it all depends on how new the machine is. If it
was built after about 1996, it's probably an Intel based
system-- hardly worthy of notice.
Before that, they made systems using the 88000-- now
these are interesting because very few makers used this
chip set.

Oh yes there were plenty of variantion of the base "11/53" out there.
Most were
supposed to be J11 powered but like I said many have M8189s.

I live for the day I can strip OE for a real mailer not the cartoon thing
MS pushes off. My kind of mailer is Vax Mail. Nice simple command
line text mailer.

The pdf is there already, but I forgot to upload the modified index
file ;-( sorry! I just did, and now you can download the pdf from
http://www.vaxarchive.org/manuals/
It should also appear a day later at http://vaxarchive.khubla.com/manuals/

The server that is hosting www.vaxarchive.org is indeed a bit unstable
because it also has many other things to do. But I am not complaining
because the owner of the machine lets me use many megabytes for free
and when the machine goes down, it is always fixed quickly.
The servers that are hosting the mirrors should be more stable. There are
two active mirrors at the moment:
http://vaxarchive.khubla.com/ - is automatically updated once a day
http://vaxarchive.sevensages.org/ - is manually updated at irregular moments
They are both located in the U.S., as is the vaxarchive machine itself.
I am working on a mirror in Europe. If anyone else wants to mirror,
please get in touch.
