I have seven 5.25" floppies labeled as RX33K which contain:
VAXmate MS-Windows v1.03 (two disks)
VAXmate Info System v1.1
VT240 Emulator Update
VAXmate S/A Install v1.1
VAXmate MS-DOS v3.10
All of these are labeled "For VAXmate operating environment v1.1".
I don't remember where it came from, but there's been some recent talk
about VAXen. Who wants these?

I assume these will only run on a VAXmate? I've only seen one
VAXmate and that was nearly 10 years ago. How good was the VT240
emulation?

We have 2 VAXmates at Bletchley Park so if those floppies could wing their
way across the pond that'd be great! I keep meaning to drag them out of
their storage room and set at least one up to exhibit, we're building an
Electronic Office exhibit that the VAXmate should be a part of really.

I didn't expect so much interest in these disks. I've gotten two private
emails asking about them and now Bletchley Park. At the very least I
ought to make images of these disks before sending them off to wherever
they end up.

Please do. I have two Vaxmates in storage with bad ST225 hard drives.

They didn't actually call them ST225 drives if they were installed in
a Vaxmate, did they?
If so it seems, well, dirty...
