I had forgotten how many boards went into a 780!
Congratulations on getting it going, I don't suppose anyone else has seen
those particular console error messages for a long time.

Hi Dave,
Great news. I hope you'll be publishing some pictures (perhaps before,
during after) of the restoration on the website?
Regards
Keith

Subject: [HECnet] LSSM VAX-11/780 success
I am pleased to announce that we at LSSM have just gotten our
VAX-11/780 up and running!
Now we have to clean up the debugging and repair mess, clean up the
cabling, arrange for a permanent system disk, etc, then we will declare it
an "operational exhibit". Once that's done, it will be on HECnet whenever
it's up and running.
Of course all are welcome to come to LSSM in person and run the
machine. (feel the rumble in the floor, etc)
-Dave
