VAX-11/750 registry (Was: Reviving a VAX-11/750)

[Alan Perry]

In the registry that I was planning on creating, I was going to include 
a lot of 11/750-specific fields. Does it have a Unibus expansion 
cabinet? What control store does it have? From the responses that I have 
received so far, I have already run into questions about what should be 
listed as an 11/750.

If someone wants to create a more general registry, I will support that 
effort as well.
