VAX 11/780

?Well I finally had a chance to get all the pieces together and have a detailed look. Looks like it is a KA780 no upgrade. Only 1 Mb of memory. One RH780. Two DW780 for the two BA11 box's. One BA11 is full of terminal boards and a DUP11. The other just has a lone UDA50. Looks like the only thing missing is the Massbus cable to connect the CPU with the TU78. ? Started to take things apart and clean. Amazing what WD40 and fine steel wool will do to the chassis. It was finally a sunny day today so I got a chance to get a few of my VT100 keyboards and monitor cases out for a little de-yellowing. Only took a few hours in the midday sun to whiten them. ? I want to thank everybody for the positive comments and help. Big shoutout to Ian from the living computer museum who restored their 780 and got it up online for his suggestions and Bob Supnik for his help in finding software. I'll be starting a blog to detail my progress. ? I have to share a humorous note about going to retrieve this system from a storage building in Massachusetts. I just left the Massachusetts Turnpike and was heading back to my home near Niagara Falls NY. While heading west on the NYS Thruway, I saw a mustard colored Volvo coming up in my mirror. He slowed and came along the side of my car waving his arms. I thought something had happened to my trailer. When I looked over, he was leaning over and giving me a very enthusiastic thumbs up sign. Someone actually knew what I had back there! Brian
