My thanks to all that replied to my questions. Better than the "are you
out of your mind" I expected :^) Based on the answers I recieved, and the
fact that when cleaned the case up some I noticed that based on the
positioning of a label over the SCSI port it was probable that nothing had
ever been plugged in there I decided to give it a go.
Anyway, the result was I pulled my VT420 out of storage, hunted up a cable
for the terminal, and powered it on. It seems to be working just fine, and
much to my surprise and pleasure it has 16Mb of RAM. Of course it's only
running VMS 5.3 on a pair of RZ-23's, but hey it's faster, smaller and
quieter than my MV2! Now to get a better Hard Drive, and add a CD-ROM.
