And furthermore, does anyone have any documentation on it? I'm curious
as to what it looked like inside. The only thing I could find was a
PDF about a very early Ada compiler for it.

I have three version 2.0 manuals from 1985 scanned, I'll see about getting them
uploaded.

questions..

I'm pretty sure there was a post somewhere a while back that HP technically does, and
admitted to losing the source. There was rumor that they asked if anyone in the community
had a copy that they could send them back, but no one came forward.

What would it have been written in, Macro-32. According to Google, there
was a post here back in 2006 with eBay link for VAXELN microfiche. I wonder
if that was source code?

I have at least the following VAXELN resources:

The internals manual is probably the one that is of most interest to
Kevin. It's pretty much the equivalent to the VMS internals and data
structures manual. I've actually got quite a few other VAXELN manuals,
but I'll need to make a list. None of these manuals have been scanned yet.
For the tapes, I've created images of them in Simh tap format. I'll send
them on the Al Kossow (unless he has copies already?)
