Well, in that case Chuck McManis had his PDP-8 (forgot which one
specifically, I think it was an 'm') up and running blinking its lights.
And Jacob Ritorto brought in an '11 the second day and got it up and
running.
Also, Scott Statton (one of the sellers, he was next to Kai) had a
MicroVax or something up and running at his table with a Ricochet modem
attached so he was live on the net. Pretty damn cool, and very damn handy
when I needed to download a file off the web in a pinch.

Actually,
there was plenty of DEC stuff for sale. Lots of PDP-11 boards,
one guy was selling multiple Intersil 6100 chip sets, etc.
What I was referring to were the computers on display rather than what was
being sold. Since I am not into DEC (except I do want to get the PDP-8L,
11/03, and micro 11 up and running), I really didn't pay much attention to
the boards being sold. Maybe I should have :).
