< I've got a factory-badged M38 SPX here...
Figures... they are about the same age with the m38 being a bit older
(comming out sooner) than the M76. there are a lot of differences between
the two.
either way both nice boxes. I have 3 VAXserver M10Es and the one lonely
M76/spx. I don't have a tube on the m76 as I use a terminal or the vt1200
on the network. My MVII has a GPX board set (all three planes) but I dont
use it. The room would never tolerate a VRmumble 19" color tube, they
are huge.
Never found out why SPX or GPX terms were used.

New subject: Vaxstation video
Speaking of vaxstation 3100s, I have a vs42a-bd vaxstation. I also now
find myself with an extra PC svga monitor. Is it possible to use the monitor
with the vaxstation? I once connected a NEC multisync to one and got
usable video, but NEC Multisyncs are extraordinary monitors (and I happened
to have one with the right jacks for the cable I had - long story.)
If so, where would I get the appropriate cable? Also, does anyone have
a keyboard for this thing that they'd sell? It doesn't seem to like
autobooting with a terminal, although it will boot.

Generally PC monitors don't work, but hey it's worth a try.

All the DEC systems that use MMJ connector take any of the DEC keyboards
(LK201,LK301,LK401), those are used on ALL VTxxx terminals, Pro3xx,
Rainbow to name just a few. it should be easy to find.
