MicroVAX 4000. Using the open source
"sane" portable scanning package, suitably tweaked for VMS, I can scan quite
That 'suitably tweaked for VMS' worries me a little. I am not a
programmer, I am not sure I could do things like that.
In any case
there are really only 2 clases of VAXen I would want to try
running. One is the 11/780 and its brothers (11/782, 11/785), the other

accomodate at the moment, so it would have to be the latter. And I
suspect Unibus SCSI cards are not easy to find anyway...
You could always build one :-)
In any case, thos diesn;t get round the problem (for me) of fidnign a
scanner I could repair.
I think we've addressed all the other difficulties. We can't be expected to
cover everything :-)
