Agh, magica. Those were the good old days. :)
Magica is still around. I only wish I could turn her on more often. Cooling is the
problem.
I really need to go dig my /70 out and start running it one of these days. That and my
/34a. I don't currently have anywhere appropriate to run them, however. :(
Hum...? I think that it terminated on our VAX 8650.
That is the only thing I can remember on which I had serial ports to spare. Running Ultrix
on the machine at the time.
Maybe that's it and I'm misremembering. I remember it ran Ultrix but remember it
being MIPS for some reason.
That machine is also still around, but also powered off because of cooling. Big ECL
machine. Lots of heat... But it's KRILLE (1.8).
It can boot VMS, Ultrix and NetBSD. Only got DECnet for VMS though.
Yeah, a shame it's too expensive to run. Nice machine.
