Misread that. Now turning red.
2nd: a number of DECStation 2100 and 3100 series

various peripherals and expantion boxes.
What are they, and what do they run? (and docs?)
I have one, it runs VMS 5.3 (VAXServer 3100) If it runs VMS, you do *not* have a DECstation. A
VS3100 is what you
have, Daniel. A DECstation is not a VAX and does not run VMS. (Though
it will run Ultrix and - I just discovered - NetBSD. See
http://www.netbsd.org/).
Real work or hacking? :) Theirs is for supporting other people who
have old VAXen. They even still use paper tape!
I am talking to the VAX guy at ATS (CAterpillar
branch) about it. They
have an 11/780 out there, in full working order and DOING SOMETHING
USEFUL!!
Umm... yeah? So? Lots of us use old VAX's for real work,
everyday.
