What fun! I got a book called "VAX-11 Assembly

What's a VAX-11?
The first few VAXen were the VAX-11 family. The first was the
VAX-11/780, then (in no particular order) the VAX-11/750, the /730,
/725, /782, and /785.
Of course I'm assuming you know what a VAX is in the more generic
sense...

Not really... I don't know much about the VAX models(or much of
anything from DEC for the matter, besides knowing I have a terminal
and an 11/84 in the basement). I probably would have recognized a
reference to a 750 or 780, but just plain VAX-11 threw me off. Well,
now I'm hooked. Anyone know of a good web site with some basic info
on the VAX computers?

Right on! Another convert...
I'm kind of a VAX addict myself, I've got several MicroVAXen and
VAXstations strewn about the house running NetBSD or VMS.
Goot links include:

http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/vax/
(NetBSD VAX port info and links)

(A VAX hardware reference)

(Kind of a cool "everything in one place" page by a VAX hacker)
These are a good start. VAXen are cool. VAXen are neat.
Now, if only I could get to use some DEC 36-bit equipment...
