Alphabook. Not exactly Rare, just hard-to-find
I'd love an Alphabook, but when they are available, they are
expensive. Once the VMS IPF port is finished and IPF laptops
are available I'll finally have a native VMS laptop.
Why wait? You can get a pay for VAX simulator to run on your Intel Laptop
today (Charon-VAX
http://www.charon-vax.com) and the SIMH
http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ family of free simulators (including PDP-11
and PDP-10) has a VAX emulator that's almost working (VMS boots but crashes
shortly thereafter).
The commercial VAX simulator is extremely expensive, and the SIMH and TS10
aren't there yet. Even so, the keyword was "native". I don't want the
performance hit that comes with running an emulation.
