A question for the list at large: I've an opportunity to acquire a
Decmate - apparently a Decmate I - with terminal, keyboard ("missing a
couple keys") and "drives". Unit "boots, but not sure what else it
does" according to the owner. Photo shows a VT100 w/kybr on top of a
large housing that apparently houses the drives. Owner agreed to $50..
Online info seems to indicate it's an early Dec PDP8 based word
processor but little else seems available to a cursory search (haven't
hit bitsavers yet)
Worth saving? collectible? I've not delved into DEC before - is this
a place to start?
