I don't have one, and likely never will. One got exhibited (it belongs to
Mike Ross) along with my PDP-11/70 at VCF-East last year, though.
I have several VT52s, and a couple of VT50s.

Hello!
I know. Going to do a repeat performance on your PDP-11 setup this
year? (And this presupposes we are good for the VCF.)
This year?? There's no VCF-East this year.
Next year...probably not, as I've already exhibited it. I'll pick
something else. Any suggestions?
Maybe one of the DEC-20s. Unfortunately that still leaves the issue of finding a MASSBUS drive. Perhaps we could do a low-speed WAN cluster of TOPS-20 if the older versions had those features and would run on your 202s. I'll need to go read the manual again I forget what it's called but I recall TOPS-20 having some cluster-like features...
That would be awesome, but finding a MASSBUS drive is proving difficult. :-(
Yeah. :( I'll let you know if I ever run across one. I've run across weirder.

Hello!
There isn't? Oh <DELETED!>. Oh anything that can think for itself and
can make use of ASCII.
Maybe for next year I'll work out something. If I can manage to find
the room for my crazier then out beyond left field ideas.

Ooooh. I like the PDP-11/70.
Thank you, I'm glad that you do. It's one of my favorite machines.
I have several VT52s, and a couple of VT50s.
Of all your terminals, which do you like best?
That's a tough question. For everyday use, I'd have to say a VT420. For
basking in the glory of an amazingly nice terminal, I'd say a VT240.

What's the OS yours is running, that is with SIMH on it?
Non-up-to-date Raspbian. ;)
Hello!
The only one I saw was being used for something else ..
Was it being used as a place to sit coffee?
Ah crap, that was mine, sorry..

Hello!
No actually they were used to mismanage a library system. They
transitioned to a different one, but it is still riddled with issues.
Dave stop staring at that yellow car and at those two Bedford vans.
Oh and next-up, Cory how did you feed the VMS image to your SIMH
emulated VAX? Or did you create it elsewhere first?
