I don't have much to say I'm afraid. A friend notified me of a 11/73 at 
his workplace and I went and had a look. I didn't expect much but was 
surprised to find a fully loaded BA11 box and a full expansion box. In 
the expansion box was a VSV11 with two memory cards. The system seems to 
check out ok, but we haven't booted anything yet.

I'm curious though, what software took advantage of the VSV11?
