I posted earlier this week about some dumb terminals a guy had for sale
cheap. Well, I ended up acquiring the rest of the terminals and cables
and stuff because Ralph wanted to get rid of them and couldn't hold onto
them anymore. Whoever was working on a deal with Ralph, please e-mail me
and I will honor whatever terms you guys came up with.

Well, I got the Zip disk from my firend and it contained all of what was in
my original post (91mb). I made a backup of the disk onto 4mm tape and mailed
to Bill Whitson, by now about 3 weeks ago, for him to post on the ftp server.
I have not gotten positive confirmation from him whether or not he received
the package that I sent (via priority mail).
I presume that as soon as he has had a chance to look through the scans to
verify the contents, he will post them.
If anyone else needs them quicker, contact me off-list and I can arrange to
have them sent to you (you provide the media).

Well it happened again I walked into the place today as far the eye could
see there apples, mac II's, 19 inch apple mono moniters, vax units, hp
vectra's, and lots of other items all sold or on hold at 5 bucks each. It
all came in Monday afternoon after I left around 12:30pm. They say that
another truck load will be in later this week and may camp out. Monday I
did get a Polymorphic System 8813 with keyboard, a Zenith model 14ZdC3, HP
III laser, and a Bernoullibox II all for $5 each. Well back to testing the
units from last week.
Sorry all... Due to a cramp in brain cell #2, Convergent came out as

Can't think of a better or more deserving place for them, maybe these kids
will grow up to appreciate computers as wonderful tools rather than the
'appliances' the industry would try to push on us.

It's a MicroVAX II. MicroPDP's cannot boot or run VMS (that I know of) due
to a different CPU.
What's most likely happened is, somewhere along the line, somebody had a
PDP-11/83 in that box, then pulled out the CPU and memory cards and
replaced them with MicroVAX equivalents. You can easily do this, as the
box, power supply, and backplane are compatible with either CPU.
As an example: If I were to pull some spare 11/73 cards out of my stash,
and replace the MV-II boards in my VAXStation II/GPX with them, said
VAXStation would suddenly become an 11/73.

I have just got a 'new' computer over the weekend. It was advertised as
a MicroVAX II with 2xRA81, 8Mb, and tape drive.
It has VMS 5.x on one of the RA81s and Ultrix on the other. It looks
like the picture in the Digital manuals of a MicroVAX II 630 (tall rack
unit with RA81 at top and bottom with the processor modules in between),
however it was only when I got it home that I saw the badge above the
On/Off switch which says "Digital PDP11/83".
When VMS starts it says VAX/VMS Version 5.x (can't remember the minor
version number) and when Ultrix starts it reports that it is running on:
MicroVAX II with FPU
What have I got?
By the way, the date stamped on all of the cases and labels is in 1988
if that helps. Can anyone tell me anything about it?
