Likely a video cable for starters. And a disk controller - got a schematic, as well as a list of compatible floppy drives?
Since some VAX stuff came up on the list recently...
Anyone know much about the VAXbrick 4000-50? Not a lot of info on it floating around...
Also, anyone here know how much a VAX 4000-200 in BA215 weighs, and/or have one that they'd be willing to sell? Haven't seen any come up lately... what's the going rate?
I always thought that was the best-looking of the pedestal enclosures.
Thanks!

Did someone lose their collection that was in storage in Florida?
If so, did it include a Sol-20?
If so, I have the contact information of the guy that bought out your
storage. Contact me and I'll put you in touch.

Just to let everyone know that my Symbolics 3620 just arrived. It was delivered by FedEx in two large boxes totaling 160 lbs. I've unpacked it and powered it up just enough to verify that everything seems to be working. I'll post pictures and more information about it as soon as I get a chance to put it in a more permanent place (right now it's in the living room?wife won't let it stay there long) and I have a chance to "play" some with it. Now back to work.

The RM03 is too small to hold all of the source and do any development.
The RP06 works very nicely.
I don't think that the KS10 will boot from an RP07.
The KS10 will boot ITS from an RM80. I am not sure how well supported
it is with TOPS-10 or TOPS-20.
I would recommend the RP06 for a disk and a TU45 or TU77 for a tape.

Just letting the group know that I've posted another video showcasing one
of the models in my collection. This time it's the venerable Osborne 1
