Hi folks !
Me again...
Thank you to those who have replied to my earlier posting,
I now have a request for bits from UK (Mainland) VAX sites.
I have been luck enough to obtain a VAX-11/785 (which works - and consumes a
modest amount of power).
I really intend to treat this machine as a kind of "home-computer", something
to "learn" and by which I can get valuable VAX experience. My primary passions
in the computing field are Graphics and Operating Systems / Compilers. To mess
about in these fields huge amounts of storage capacity are required, I already
have a pair of RM03's but they are too small to do anything serious.
I would like to know if anyone out there can offer me some out of date /
unsupported kit which is reliable and not too difficult to maintain -
something along the lines of an RA81 rack with suitable controllers.
Also I need a "cenetronics" type printer interface and, if such a beast exists
some kind of Visualisation Kit (Graphic controller).
I will arrange collection.
