Ethan:
Regarding your message posted on classiccmp.org from last May, did you ever
find a taker for the Series/1 (or any parts thereof)? I've been trying to
find a copy of RPS (Realtime Programming System) from such a beast, but to
no avail (so far). Any info that you could provide would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Eh? I've never owned a Series/1. The closest I came was adapting my
product (COMBOARD/3780) to *connect* to a Series/1 in an IBM network
that functioned like an X.25 cloud, but under 3780 for transmitting
EDI purchase orders. We had a customer who bought our VAXBI COMBOARD
to move purchase orders to/from WalMart/K-Mart/DoD so they could continue
to sell their product. I had to go to small-town Wisconsin to find out
that they problems were on the *other* end of the wire.
The other end was 100% IBM, but they violated their own protocol when they
re-implemented it on the "newer" hardware. :-P
