I love the VS60. I acquired one (for free!) about 1985, but didn't have
room in my old house to bring everything together in one room. Now that
I have moved to rural Oregon I have space for my vintage computer "museum",
and hope to get the VS60 together this winter so I can run Lunar Lander
again. :-)
Anything you (or anyone) can tell me about the VS60 would be appreciated.

The variation I am familiar with was called the GT62, and included the VS60
display
subsystem, light pen and button box, and an 11/34 processor with RX02 floppies.
There was also a local terminal, either a VT52 or a VT100.
IIRC we ran RT11 so you could launch lunar lander, or else the SUDS terminal
software.
Back end comms was a serial link (9600b IIRC) to the local KL10 host, running
TOPS-10.
My interaction at that point was as a user of the SUDS software to do schematic
design.
