  I just acquired a DEC Professional 350 system, with 2 floppy drives but no
hard drive (although there's nice space for it ;). I also got 2 disks with
it, one says "P/OS System V1.7", and the other doesn't say much of anything
(other than "bottom/right"). When I boot the machine, it goes into some-
thing like a terminal emulator (maybe vt100, I haven't tried it) which it
calls a "Termulator".

  Anyhow, one of the guys here in the department says that this is both
a "small version PDP-11" and a "good doorstop". I'd hope that since it
has disk drives, this means it can do something else besides emulate
a terminal.

  Can anyone give me pointers as to where to I could locate software for
this machine, and is anyone still using one of these to do anything? If
it can run PDP-11 stuff, there seems to be a good bit out there. I'd also
like to locate manuals & stuff like that. But, the machine appears to be
about 10 years old. :) Think DEC still has it in stock?

                                        Thanks, <Mowgli>
