I'm forwarding this to both CLASSICCMP and the port-VAX lists.
Attached is a message found on Usenet from a fellow who could use (a),
some help setting up a QDSS graphics subsystem on his MicroVAX 3, and (b),
a "hockey-puck" mouse and a reference for the appropriate cable to use it,
the monitor, and the keyboard.
His current cable, a BCC-06 series, lacks the mouse connector.
Please reply to him directly at dan(a)dna.rockefeller.edu. Thanks much!
Attachment follows.
