Fwd: old hardware help requested

DEC used a lot of these on it's systems. Their external TK50 drive: http://research.microsoft.com/~gbell/Digital/timeline/1984-6.htm Their BA123 style enclosure--the nameplates you see next to the power switches are separate pieces of plastic which snap into the plastic of the case, if helps at all: http://research.microsoft.com/~gbell/Digital/timeline/1985-2.htm http://research.microsoft.com/~gbell/Digital/timeline/1985-4.htm Their VAXstation 2000: http://research.microsoft.com/~gbell/Digital/timeline/1987-2.htm The base of their VT-240 terminal is another example, but I can't find any clear pictures of it: http://vt100.net/docs/tp83/full0303.jpg http://www.montagar.com/~patj/dec/ware/GRA_SOF_REF_GD_VT240_241_1984.JPG The one example I have on hand is on my VAXserver 4000-300, though mine's manufacture date is Feb 20, 1991. I can find confirmation, but I believe these were first being built a year or two before that time. http://www.jarai.org/temp/0629_001-sm.jpg http://www.jarai.org/temp/0629_002-sm.jpg http://www.jarai.org/temp/0629_002-sm.jpg There's also the VAXstation 3100 and DECstation 3100 series of computers. I couldn't find a clear picture, but here's a diagram for the back of the case used by those models: http://www.whiteice.com/~williamwebb/Chap2/DOC-2-6.html -brian.
