I don't have one, and likely never will. One got exhibited (it belongs to

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. :-(

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?

Guys,
Sorry to spam you about this but I've actually got the instant messenger / presence management stuff I wrote to a stable enough level that I'll advertise it here.
You might ask what's the point of HIM if we already have VMS PHONE? Well, with HIM you can see who is logged onto ANY machine at any time on the network, instead of just the directory of a specific host.
More details at: http://rhesus.sampsa.com/him/
OR you can just go to RHESUS::[.MEDIALIB.HIM] and grab the HIM.ZIP file.

Does anyone have the VMS Listing CD for the last version of VAX/VMS?
The latest version I have is V5.5-2 and I need to look closely at a few thi=
ngs.
Please contact me offline if you can help.
I have them here somewhere. Most of my VAX media was tosssed in CD storage
bins higgledy-piggledy when the boxes I had them in got wet from a leaking
water heater. I need to find some free time to sort, collate and catalog
all of it but I do have all of the OpenVMS VAX listings through V7.3. I've
not have much need for it since the "poor-man's microfiche" (aka, SDA) has
sufficed for the little I've needed on the VAX side. Alpha and Itanium are
a completely different story. Those are well cataloged and readily avail-
able.
