Today's Exciting Acquisition & Microvax 3100 Question

(which I think is currently unavailable) doesn't support ethernet, so it's pretty much worthless from my point of view, and they want a LOT more than an actual VAX would cost you for a version that does. It's from the same company that's done a commercial PDP-11 emulator for several years. Timothy Stark, the guy that's done the ts10 emulator (first publically available KS10 emulator that was actually able to boot TOPS-10) is working on adding VAX-11/780 support to his emulator. Though he's spending most of his time working on the PDP-10 side of it. IIRC, there is also work underway to add VAX emulation to simh (which now has excellent KS10 emulation). Zane -- | Zane H.
