VAXstation 3100

What is the model number of the machine? This can be either something like /76 or in the form XX-XXX-XN etc. I doubt it can run a VGA monitor (15 pin). It should have VMS as the OS and may support DEC Windows on a DEC graphics monitor. Otherwise just need a VT type monitor or connect a PC to it via the serial port and use a terminal emulator such as WinQVT32 (share ware). If you don't want the machine. I'll have it! I want a VMS machine to play with at home. Through DECUS you can get a free VMS license plus free licenses for layered products and development tools such as DEC BASIC, C++, Fortran, Etc. You will have to pay about USD30 for the CD-ROMS though.

Is this worth messing with? What's in it processor wise? Can I rig it to a VGA monitor? Should I let it pass? ---------------------------------------- Tired of Micro$oft???
