It's kind of pricey, ugly, and missing the monitor. Googling PC380-AA
seems to say its a VAX 8800 console. Is there anyway to use one of these
off the serial port ?
I have been reading conflicting information on
these. Is the VAX 8800
console just a DEC Pro 380 with an extra real time interface card or
a modified Pro 380 ? I guess the gist is can the ones sold as 8800
consoles be used as regular Pro 380 ?
To make it even more confusing, I think that they first used Pro
360's. Basically it's a DEC Professional with an Interface Card, and
the Console software installed on the HD.
