If you want to peer with me using DMC11 let me know. I will need to know
your IP/DNS address and a port you want to listen on. You can download a
Windows executable of the VAX780 emulation with DMC11 support here:
http://sdrv.ms/Lmg33s I am hoping that the DMC11 will be in the next release
of SIMH, and perhaps in the PDP11 emulation too.
I'd be interested in trying that. The Unibus emulation should just carry over. Is the source available?

How are your soldering skills though. There are some VGA-->BNC cables on ebay, I got one last week for 6. You could cut the vga connector off and solder to a 3w3 plug. You should be able to get one through RS or Farnell cheaply
The issue is thus: I(t's a DEC cable with a moulded 3w3 plug and the cable has pulled at the 3w3 end, I suspect the wire has snapped inside the 3w3 plug. I'm getting another cable to prove the VAX is okay first and when I have that working I'll do some surgery on my existing one.
I'de make one up using existing stuff I have if I had any idea where to get 3w3 plugs from, they seem to be like rocking horse doo-doo.

Hi,
I wondered if anyone has a spare 3w3 to 3xBNC (RGB) cable. It appears after a multimeter test that the green wire in mine has broken, the cable insulation has split behind the 3w3 connector so I think the cable has been pulled on and broken.
Make that two. I'm also on the hunt for one. :-)

Thanks,
Mark - there is currently one on eBay unless it's been snapped up.
I can see 3 - all in the USA.
