Nice indeed. I guess I have bits of that system...a
VT100 (minus the
crucial guts to make it a VT180,) the floppy unit and, most
interestingly to me, the modem. Does anyone know if that modem (DF03)
was ever sold to customers? The one I have is marked "DEC service part
only, not for resale" and, from what I could gather, was the service
tandem on an 11/780 box (I could be wrong on the model there as it
came from a large datacenter of multiple generations of DEC
equipment.) Noting that the seller says he got the 180 setup from a
DEC employee, this theory isn't contradicted.
That modem is the best part to
me. Never seen one before. It's adorable.
It's like something you would buy at a gift shop after doing the DEC
factory tour. Press the buttons and the lid pops open you get candy.
