Turning a VAX 11/750 into a workstation (Re: VMS for MicroVAX II/III (was Re: Value of a PDP/8?)) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Nope... I did the install on the hardware in my DEC Field Service days... It
was a VS11/VSV11 subsystem.  Had a raster graphics box hung off an interface
on the Unibus.

Perhaps it was a CSS (special systems) item.

The box was at Fort Monmouth in Central New Jersey.
There were diags and manuals in the Fiche under that name.

I'm reasonably certain there was an earlier workstation
configuration for VAXen.  I think the earliest was a UNIBUS-attached
graphical console for the VAX 11/780.

Peace...  Sridhar 
 I believe you're thinking of the VAXstation 100 terminal (aka VS100).
