The same seller has a VT180 and some variant of the VT100 with an expansion board
I don't recognize
Interesting thing about the blank board is it says "VT-11X" on it and it looks like
it would have been an 8-bit CPU looking at the string of DRAMs on it.
I haven't been in the San Francisco area in about 30 years.
I remember a number of used computer/electronics stores back then, can't
remember any names except Weird Stuff Warehouse.
Are there any stores that are worth a visit?
What about outside of the SF area?

Hi folks,
Clearing out some of the larger DEC pieces I have, does anyone want these before I offer them to the Centre For Computing History? They?d need to be collected from Cambridgeshire, or I can deliver them if the distance is reasonable. I kind of need the space quickly too.
Usual caveat as working-when-last-powered-up :)
3x LA100-CA with keyboards
VRT19 with video cable, last powered up in Dec 2014
VR319 mono VXT monitor
VR261 mono workstation monitor
VXT1200
VXT1000
Alpha 3000-400, maybe 2 if I can find the 2nd one.
Cheers,
?

At some point I read an article or a transcript of an interview with an
Intel employee (or former employee) who had been involved with the design
of the 8085, describing how he had specified additional instructions over
those of the 8080, and they had been implemented in the silicon, but then
the decision was made to not document any of the new instructions other
than RIM and SIM.
I no longer recall which Intel employee that was, and can't find the
article or interview. Does anyone else remember that, and perhaps have a
copy?

Hi, can I appeal to you (and everyone else who writes up these kinds of
notes) to put this stuff on the Computer History wiki?
When things like this get placed in the CCTalk archives (for which there is
no search system other than Google), or on people's personal sites (ditto) -
and I have in the past BTDT for both of these, myself - it's probably going
to be hard to find them amidst all the other dross that a Google search
typically produces, a couple of years down the road.
With the CHWiki, we stand a chance of filtering out the useful information
and making available, and _organizing_ all this stuff so that it's possible
to find relevant information when it's needed...
And no, I don't have time to upload all this stuff myself - I have too much
other stuff I'm trying to work on! :-)
So, please - let's get organized!

What sites still exist that have VMS software? I know the about the OpenVMS Freeware CD?s from HP VMS Engineering.

As an example, I?ve found part of the old DECwindows archive, but it looks like that site is basically gone.

Helloooooooooooooo cctalkers.
We've been planning this for almost a year and now it is time for the
inaugural Vintage Computer Festival Pacific Northwest, this weekend
(10am-5pm both days) at Living Computers: Museum+Labs in Seattle.
There will be all the usual goodness that you expect from a Vintage
Computer Federation event: computer museum tours, incredible exhibits,
amazing venue, interesting presentations, consignment booth, food, tours
of the nearby Connections Museum, and you can pick up a snazzy VCFed
mousepad or coffee mug. :)
If you live within a day's drive then you owe it to yourself to check
out this show! All the details are at www.vcfed.org and don't forget to
use #vcfpnw in social media posts.
And of course, if you see me there then please come say hello. I love
meeting Internet people in person.
Special thanks to our supporters: LC:ML, Hackaday, ACM, and the IEEE
History Center.
-Evan
