noob to them.
I'm goign to get flamed for saying this, but it basically ocmes down to
DEC or somebody else :-)
Good points.
The comment that other things are hard to find makes me wonder: what about Philips
minicomputers? Chances of finding them in the USA are slim to none, but what about
Europe? I did my first hands-on programming on a 24 bit Philips mini (P9200 ???), at the
Evoluon in Eindhoven. It has some fascinating design aspects. I still have a few pages
of code, though no manuals or anything else.
