ISTR having to mod our 3780 COMBOARD code to talk to a Series/1 in
about 1992 or so because someone in WI bought our VAXBI COMBOARD to
send EDI purchase reqs to a vendor network run by IBM and the device
on the other end of our customer's modem was a Series/1 that didn't
quite exactly implement 3780 like all the IBM products before it.

Whomever gets this, I donated my Series/1 to the VCFed Museum in Wall NJ,
and if you want to check it out for comparison purposes, I would be happy
to help set up an appointment to inspect it. Also, I have some notes about
the system I had, which is very similar to the Series/1 on craigslist. I
was able to IPL it, but did not do much else.
