Does anyone have a (set of) ROM image(s) for the
VAXstation 100?
It might be interesting to attempt an emulator.
I think the machine has some historical interest. Barbara Liskov's CLU
group received a number of VS100 terminals for their VAX. This prompted
Bob Scheifler to create X. CLU even got X libraries before C.
X10 comes with software for the VS100 "version 3.10", but it goes into
RAM through the ROM firmware. The other main concern, emulation-wise,
would be the blitter with its separate microcode.
