I am currently really enjoying "Fire in the Valley", and was reliving
the days when IMSAI reigned....
I learnt about the VDP-80 and how poor management chose to released
the not-fully-debugged VDP-80 into the public...
So anybody as a VDP-80? Until I read about it I've never head of it...

Great book I have all three editions of it and the CD that comes with the
Collector's Edition is nice. John

They're very rare. I know less than a handful of people than own one.
The Computer History Museum has a VDP-40.

I've got a VDP-80 here that's in a little sorry shape... CRT problems,
cracked lid, few keys missing off kb etc... I can look for some docs and
pics if needed. Also got a VDP-44 here that works alot better.

It'd be great if you could post some pics of both the -44 and -80, so
that at least people like me would recognize the parts if I ever
stumbled into them..
