I used to work for DEC and anyone that was there may remember the book
of DEC standard acronyms... it was more than a few pages!

Like I said, unlikely...not impossible. Also like someone else pointed
out that model may not even have a video console. ;)

I found a cool book last weekend: How to Repair Video Games by Robert
Goodman 1978.
So, technical answers can possibly be divined on:
Radio Shack TV Scoreboard Games
Magnavoc Odyssey
Studio II
General Instruments game chips
Texas Instruments game chips
National Semiconductor Video Game System
Atari PONG
Midway Home Pinball Games

Sounds like it......:^)

Perhaps a working museum is in order?
Thought has crossed my mind here, if the interest my 6220 gets from my
Intenet Cafe customers are anything to go by.

I finally received a response to my offer on the Aquarius Data
Recorders. For those who don't remember, they have 3 pallets
worth with 240 on each pallet. At first they accepted my offer on
one pallet's worth but now they say they can't do it unless I buy
two pallets of them. Somehow I feel it would be hard enough for
me to move 240 of them much less 480. I'll keep you up to date on
the deal.

I found a VAX 3100 Model 40 for $40...
It comes with 16MB memory and 2 100 MB Hard drives (the owner isn't sure
about this)
No monitor or mouse...
I think I could figure alot out, since I am used to Unix from my use of
Linux and I program a mainframe by profession...I know VMS is different,
but I plan to get a hobbyist license.
Ok...my question is...is this a good deal? What about the
monitor,...all I have is SVGA monitors...can I just hook up a terminal
or a serial cable to the PC and run via a terminal?
Can the OS be installed this way? Is there an adapter so I can use a
VGA monitor?
What about CD player...got a Sanyo SCSI, and alot of IDE...can I install
via this?
Sorry for all the questions, but I was hoping someone would be familiar
with VAXen...
Thanks,
Bill

Not bad.

VMS at the command level is like dos, more sophisticated though.
< monitor,...all I have is SVGA monitors...can I just hook up a terminal
< or a serial cable to the PC and run via a terminal?
Yes, many do.

VGA is unlikely. Also if a console crt is used you need a LK201 or 401
(DEC) keyboard and ther eis a cable to go with it.
Yes, VMS installs via terminal.

IDE is useless but the SANYO SCSI may work. Try it and see.
< Sorry for all the questions, but I was hoping someone would be familiar

There are a few of us. ;) I happen to have 3 VS3100/m10E, 3100/M76,
two MivroVAXIIs and three VS2000s... I like vaxen and VMS.

Hello, all:
I made this offer to Hans Pufal, but I may as well open it up to all. If
people on this list have any classic-related technical documents, like the
MCS-4 manual, but are unable to post them because they don't have a web
site, let me know off-list. Depending on the quantity/size of the docs, I
may be able to accomodate them on my site.
Also, I'm going to start posting the Altair Computer Notes this week.
