I have a medium sized Wang system available for free, snagged with a
bunch of Data General equipment I was saving for a fellow list member.
Neither of us are Wang fans.
This is a Wang VS45, with a console terminal, printer, a comms box,
and a Wang/CDC 80M 14" drive.
Included is an unopened pair of boxes, apparently a Wang enlargement
kit, to get this machine up to a VS65 - probably some boards, a new
power supply, but no special cremes or pumps.
There is software (VS operating system distribution) and docs, but
these may go to Al. I am not sure about this yet.
The VS45 is a cube about 2 by 2 by 2 1/2 feet, but really not very
heavy (200-250 pounds). The console is remarkable, as it is the only
Wang tube I have ever seen that is not screen burned. The printer is a
pretty standard printer, about 70 pounds. The comms box is not too big
either.
I can probably deliver reasonably close to 10512 quite inexpensively.
Of course, if someone a few hundred miles away wants this stuff, I can
also deliver for a reasonable charge. I do not really expect to get
anything for the machine, although I would not turn down a trade or
bribe.

You know what? I am lame. I didn't realize SIMH could do the VAX 11/780.
After searching around a bit I read a message from Bob Supnik circa 2004
saying that making an 11/780 simulator would require practically a whole
new simulator and then assumed that no one went forward to make one. Duh.
Anyway, thanks for the tip. Now, does anyone know where I can get VMS
3.2? ;)

I have some questions about simulating early versions of VMS on a VAX
using SIMH.
>From reading the docs it seems that the earliest version of VMS that can
be run is 5.5-2. Has anyone successfully run an earlier version of VMS?
Also, are there images of VMS 5.5 floating around that I can use?

Congratulations!

Just to be sure, you have checked and it's not the anti-glare coating
causing the problem? I remember multiple tales of dirty screens
causing dim monitors, etc....
I do have a VR-201, but a) it's in Texas, and b) it's intended for my
Rainbow. Hopefully there will be more useful info elsewhere.
> d) A colour graphics card for a DEC Rainbow. 100+
That still leaves you seeking an NTSC-rate color monitor, though,
such as a VR-241. I think those may actually be harder to locate than
VR-201's.
But see Ethan's suggestion - that might be pretty useful.

Hi,
Thank you for your replies, and the emails I received directly from those
learned people who assisted me.
I was setting the Mode Registers incorrectly, and I now have the 68661

Hi,
Does anyone here have an Elan Enterprise 64k with its PSU - and, if so, can
you please tell me what the power in specs are (i.e. DC voltage & pin
polarity)?
Many thanks in advance,
Ade.
