I have a DECwriter II, but that's a bit young.
Ok, now I'm seriously jealous, despite my rooms full of tasty DEC
goodness. The oldest DEC terminal I have is a VT50.
Well, that brought some medals out of the cupboard... Good to know ther
is a bit of old mainframe metal still around. Me? Not really, I was
only an addicted RF/TTL fault diagnostician 30 yrs ago. Tasmania didn't
have too many big-gun CPUs in the 70's (find that on Google Earth!).
Ahh, I'm a PDP-11 hacker from way back. I started out with CP/M on a
Z80, but I "got serious" when I bought a PDP-11/34a as surplus from a
university where I worked part-time after school. As a hobby I
consider myself a bit of a historian of the history of our industry; I
have a reasonably decent collection of PDP-8, PDP-11, and VAX stuff
here, as well as some other goodies. I also dabble in antique
scientific instruments.
