OK I'll bring it back around.....during VCF Midwest I saw a
DEC-branded Laserdisc unit at Pat's computer wonderland. Anyone know
what it was used for? Was it just some sort of computer-based
training software than run under VMS, or something more interesting?
Never seen one before or since.
It's a part of DEC's IVIS product (Interactive video instruction system,
maybe), and there's a DEC Pro/380 and a small external A/V box that
hooks up to the Pro, the VDP01 video disc player, and A/V output
devices.
Beyond that, I don't know too much, and most of that I learned from
physical inspection of what I got, or google. :)

Is this thread somewhat vaguely related to classic computing?
