peripherals, I hope to expand it to include some specs on the devices
as well, and possibly include things like CPUs or boards. Also, it'd
be nice to get some non-B&W pictures, but this is what I've got to
start with. I'm trying to fix the fustration that I've had using
google to figure out what an RM03, for example, looks like.

Yes, I would. I was going to put that in the email, but it slipped my
mind. Contributions are always welcome. At the moment, I'm getting
pictures out of Peripheral Handbooks, so I shouldn't need any more
pictures from one of those. I'd definately appreciate some color
photos. Some pictures, like the TU77/78, just look like crap in the
handbook (bad/no contrast).

I missed the origianl message about this but I have pictures of a LOT of
DEC cards. If the original sender will contact me directly we can set up
something and I can FTP a bunch of them to you.

Here's some device pictures I have available for the project:
TSZ07, TU81-plus, RX01W (VAX booter), RV20, RRD40
Here's some things I could photograph for the project:
RD42, RRD50, RA90, RA92, VTxxx(xxx>51), VRE01
Best Wishes and Thanks!

I'm working on an idea similar to Pat's where I scan all my boards
and take pictures of assembled systems and components. It's not
quite done yet.
However in the mean time, I have scanned some old photographs I took
in the early-mid '70s. I have only the PDP-10 photos up so far, but
I will get the IBM 370 photos done as well. This was the actual
installation at Caltech, at the time.
