You could boot probably all of the sixteen scsi devices (if you have two scsi in it).

Nicolet, DEC rescue coming up

by jfoust＠threedee.com

A few months ago, I picked up a scavenged non-working MicroVAX and a little VaxStation 2000/VS410 from a junk storeroom at Nicolet Instruments in Madison, WI. I'd missed a pair of much nicer graphics-equipped MicroVAXes dumpstered a month or so before. I've received word that they're clearing out this storeroom. I know there'a a TK50, carts, manuals and lots of other misc. junk, including several Cypher (?) mag tape units. It was piled high and deep and very poorly organized. There's also a rack-mount Nicolet 1280 that was known-working when retired. Mr. Ismail, you have a 1080, would you like another from the Nicolet family? I'll pick up what makes sense, and post a list. I doubt I'll want to keep it all. - John

Vaxstation 3100

by pechter＠shell.monmouth.com

I just came out ahead on a Vaxstation 3100 from E-Bay, having skipped the MicroVax3300... Looks like it's a 3100 Model 38... can someone point me to video pinouts, monitor specs etc since it's coming CPU box only. I'm wondering if it will drive any of the Sun Sparcstation monitors without a problem (or a modern multisync). At worst I'll run it with a VT100 (or 320 if I can find an MMJ cable). As soon as it arrives I plan to load it with VAX/VMS from the non-commercial hobby distribution... I'm wondering if I should check to see if there are any licenses and software on the box first. Any suggestions? Can this machine boot off a second drive -- I'd like to put NetBSD up on an external drive. Any pointers to FAQs and info on this machine would be appreciated. I left DEC after the MicroVax II and 8650 so I have no info on this machine. Boy, will it be good to see VAX/VMS again. Bill Bill

More Swapmeet stuff

by jpl15＠netcom.com

Along with the Compaq books and the Jonos Escort previously described, I just stumbled (literally!) over the other bit of vintage digital gear.. an unopened/shrink wrapped box containing an AT&T Voicepower VP1 module for the 6300 series. The box is marked "Work Group System Voice Power" I haven't opened it yet, but there was a stack of about 25 of them, 20 of which had been sold en masse. Apparently it is a trainable voice-input command module. Along with it (unrelated) was the AT&T version of the IBM user's guide for the 6300, with disks. Since I have two 6300s skulking around here, I can hook this thing up and see what happens... The VCF II sounds like it will do more than was thought to further the aim of Thechnology Preservation.... but that's why we do this, no? Cheers John
