The octanes were mostly free and several of the VT100s are "parts for
spares". ?Also, if you look closely they are not all VT100s. ?There is
a VT180 in there and also a DECmate.
The VAXserver 8000 on your wanted list should be VAXstation 8000.
I have one, but it is missing the E&S graphics subsystem.
I didn't see any Calcomp System 25 Workstations in your collection.
The RICM has LOTS of them.

Fixed.

Yeah, there weren't many made at all and ones with the E&S graphics
are even harder to find.

I wasn't aware of these systems. According to Computerworld, Calcomp
sold off the division after having an installed base of only 800 units
in order to avoid competing with its own peripherals customers.

This seems to be a workstation introduced in 1984. What kind of
graphics environment did it have? 1984 is too early for X11 and also
I think too early for X10.
