It is supposed to be 5 VUPS so it should be about 5 times as fast as an

I guess whether this is fast enough depends on what you are going to be

I was looking just for something to get me exposed to VMS :)
It should be grand for terminal access to play around with VMS. Using it to

If you haven't already removed the battery, I'd suggest doing that as soon
as possible.

Wasn't aware it had that potential issue, I've never opened it up. "Note to

Looks like you might be ok after all - I've managed to dig out a model 40 and
it has a DALLAS chip instead of a battery. Many of the earlier models had a
NiCd battery. Sorry for any unnecessary panic caused.
