Nice! BUT no my BigMac is a Mac Pro 1,1 tweaked with TB of disk with my old files on it. I call it BigMac cause it is about the same weight as the full chassis PDP8/e I had at DEC that I lugged from one spot to another. I did power it up and ran a number of searches, two more machines and 8 more

DEC VR290 Colour Monitor, free to good home (UK)

I have a DEC VR290 colour monitor for use with VAXstations. It was working fine when I last powered it on (2-3 years ago), hooked up to a 3100 M76. It's free to a good home (preferably a home with a VAX), absolutely collection only. I'm in Nottingham UK. It's too heavy and large to ship safely.

I have posed this question to the 8lovers list, and folks seemed to misunderstand. So let me try here. I believe sometime in the late 70s, maybe as late as 1980, a prof associated with UMass wrote a paper describing an extension of the PDP8 called 8/X or 8X. THIS IS NOT the Pre Nova/DG machine

Thanks Eric, I had a private reply that said pretty much the same thing. Last night I replaced the shorted diode and another electrolytic capacitor and the PSU started up on the bench, powering a load board and an RD53 hard disk. Ripple was good except on the -9V output, but that output
