I would have replied via email, but I couldn't...


In article <47.2aaa29e2@forthd.uucp> you write:

I don't know if they are good for anything, but I would be willing to
buy one off you to see what it does.

The VID08 is 
"VIDEO DISPLAY STATION: VID10-B4, VR419-A2, LK201-A (keyboard), (a VSXXX-A 
mouse, too, I think)"

The VID10-B4 is
"IMAGE II SYSTEM BOX"

The VR419 is
" 19" MONOCHROME MONITOR, RESOLUTION 1536 X 1152 PIXELS"
Unfortunately, the frequency is not given, so I don't know whether this
is usable on another machine or not (or whether or not DECwindows will
support it).

The memory is probably 9meg total (two 4meg MS630-BB boards plus 1meg on
the CPU).
The ethernet is probably a DEQNA, as I don't think DELQA's were available
at that time.

Can you open one of these suckers up and read the numbers off the handles
of the boards? The first board should have M7606 (the MicroVAX II cpu) 
stamped on it. If you can give me the other Mxxxx numbers, I can tell you
what else is in it.

I would imagine that nobody there knows what they are. They were made in
'88, and probably didn't last very long.


Get back to me as soon as you can with more details and I will try to help
you determine whether this hardware is still usable.
