The 6000s (I worked with a few) are self contained. Just plug in a serial console device
(dumb terminal or decwriter or similar. I?d love a 6000 but don?t have space and I?m on
the wrong continent. By default they are wired for three phase power, at least in U.K. I
understand they can easily be converted to single phase so potentially usable in a
domestic environment.

Dat drive visible on the front. Some manuals, looks like possible CD media and docs,
marked Compaq, so not ancient stuff.
Main question I had, does this require a console machine to get running? like the
Professional 380 which is badged as "Vax Console"?
I can't go get it, just what I noticed. this was discussed on one of the DEC FB
groups, though I suspect everyone here who knows about that has read the posts.
thanks
