>> Still looking for a cheap MicroVAX or a PDP-11/93.

LSI 11/73?

Hopefully, the SoL has arrived, I bought my 1st uVAX II motherboard, KA630 from a Field Service Engineer I Played Lax with for $500. Pulled out the 1/2 width PDP board, made a few console changes and voilla, VMS magic. In between was the interminable tape drive but it messes up the story.

I left for Maynard/Nassau a few months later, the 6 best/worst years of my life. Watching us piss away the WS market to salvage big iron was the worst but as GB much later pointed up -- VMS was the gold and we had no idea how to mine it.
