Nothing really that "new" is in this batch of stuff. Sorry.
Hi Kevin,
Well, I think I've got just the thing for you!
I intend to post the list of available DEC gear one last
time for
interested takers before I have to resort to
dismantling
them for parts and
scrap. If things remain slow at work (i.e.,
finally less
than 60+ hour
weeks) I'll try to post it late this week.
I picked up a VAXstation II/GPX, the previous owner dropped
the monitor and threw it out with the cable (bc18z) now I
have the mouse and keyboard and no where to plug them in.
I was told that there maybe other monitors that will work
with this machine.
I saw a picture of what I now think was this missing cable
on ebay but it has since vanished.
Will a sun monitor also work?
That I can't say. Check with the list. There's often an answer for
virtually any classic machine question -as you've probably already gathered.
Another option is to remove the graphic cards and use a
serial cable (bcc08) to attach a dumb terminal.
That, IMO, is the best work-around right now. You could use the machine
while you patiently kept a lookout for something to turn up.
I sometimes find that time is a healer of most wants :-)
Thanks much for writing and good luck with your VAXstation.
Regards, Chris
