extremely strange that one would take a DEC mini, and put a Varian badge

I?m not sure if that?s completely true. I
remember a PDP11 (11/45 probably) at the University of Illinois, around
I am pretty sure I once saw a PDP8/e which was absolutely normal internally, but where
the front panel was
green (as were the switch handles) and it was badged 'Varian'. I don't
remember a Digital logo on the
front anywhere.
