Who is bidding for the DMC11 at Ebay?
I'd just like to know who else (besides me of course) is interested in
that very special old DDCMP communication adapter. I cannot imagine
that any DMCs are still in productive use today, so there's probably
another collector out there somewhere ...
I would be nice to get in contact with that special person (no matter
who wins the auction) to exchange experience.
My motivation to own a DMC11 is to run DDCMP DECnet under VMS V2.x
(no Ethernet support with VMS V2.0 yet) on my VAX-11/750. There are
still some lesser problems to overcome, e.g. obtaining DECnet for VMS
V2.x ;-))
I know the bidder might as well (or even with greater probability)
want the DMC11 for his/her PDP-11 rather than for a VAX.
Maybe one day some crazy collectors will connect their VAXen or
PDP-11s via DMC11s and dial-up lines every now and then?

Ulli

My mental preprocessor expanded DMC11 to "Delorean Motor Company 11" and I
though "Err, it was actually called the "DMC12"".

It's not me, but I hung out with one of the designers of that board
last week, and got a bunch of neat hardware from him. (a Pro/380 with
stacks of docs and floppies, a few desktop VAXen, etc)

I would love that!

I was given a reasonable number of DMC11s and DMR11s along with a single
KMC11 (which has RAM, rather than ROM for the control store), the
printsets, cables, etc. I've never tried to do anything with them, but
someday I intnded to investigate them. So any (low-level) information
which is not 'obvious' from the prints, etc would be interesting.

I have a single DMC11 and when I eventually get my 11/24 running again I
want to put it in there. Of course I don't have any cables or a second
DMC11, which makes it a bit pointless at the moment! :-) I don't know quite
enough about these cards, but I believe you can connect them via synchronous
modem, so with the right equipment, and a willing friend, I think it would
be possible to get a little bit of DECnet going over these devices.
