I just got a VAXstation 3200 today for about $15...
Amazingly enough, it
boots up to VMS 5.3-1 (can't log in though.) Can anyone recommend a good
guide for using VMS that's either avalible at a good book store or
(preferred) availble online?
Specs: 8 line serial card (forgot to look at the model #), TK-50
controller (didn't grab the drive, but might do that tomorrow..), 8-plane
framebuffer, 2x8M QBus memory cards, 2x760M ST-506 interface hard drives,
DELQA ethernet, KA650-B cpu card, (and that's about all I think...)

Wow, nice machine! :-) The ST506 MFM interface maxes out at
160MB...those are probably ESDI drives. And if they are, I'm
jealous. :-)
