All,
Well, that was quick. The system is spoken for. Thanks to all for their interest.
Regarding the DEC service CD: in fact, there are 2 CDs. They are full of manuals and
service stuff, BUT they cover more recent equipment than the PDP. The last dates on the CD
are 1994, which says that there is a lot of VAX-related material on the discs, but not
much with regards to PDP. My apologies. Anyway, I already had a couple of requests for
them, so I guess I'll be giving the ol'burner a run for its money.
Cheers,

New subject: SMC Monitor
Hello peeps.
I picked up a nice (almost-flat screen, chunky but hidden controls with the
right 'feel' etc) Monitor from college a few days ago. A google for it's
pinout comes up fruitless however. The text on the back reads:
VGA MONO MONITOR
Model: EM-1417
<power drain specs omitted>
Hor: 31.5KHz/35.2KHz
Ver: 45Hz-85Hz
The text on the front is an "SMC" logo, rendered in precisely the same way
as an IBM logo. Thin blue lines - how weird!
The connector is circular, with 13 pins arranged in a square matrix fashion,
unlike DIN which has angled pins.
Asciification:

Crap, but you get the point. Is it usable with a today's 'standard' VGA
HD15-type card? I'm thinking crisp console here...
