> Might be... I thought some 'VAX Consoles'
were Pro350s.
Some were '380's... I was told they used whatever was in stock (first
the leftover 350's, (since who wanted a 350 when the 380 was
available)...
Then they used the 380's.
Hmmm, as it says PC380 on the back, I'm assuming it's a Pro380. Knowing my
luck I'm wrong.
I wish I had one here on my 350.
Be glad you found the 380. I'd kill for one and kill again for the J11
instead of the F11 chip...
The 'VAX Console' version has a special
I/O card in the rearmost slot of
the cardcage IIRC.
That it does, the only other cards in this particular system are the Hard
Drive and Floppy Controllers. I noticed that when I was trying to see if
the Ethernet port was connected to anything, doesn't look like it is, rats!
When I checked the cards last night one thing really struck me, and that was
how clean inside the system was. Of course it did just come out of a
computer room a few hours before I got it :^)
Doesn't matter. You should see some of the "computer rooms" these days.
Unless something prevents me, I hope to get it up and running tonite.

Good luck.
