DCE vs DTE...

I don't have it but it's not that hard to find or copy. I use a MV2000
or RQDX3 formatter on PDP-11.

Well you can get the CDrom (see decus). Even if you don't have a CDrom
on a VAX you may find someone that does.

< Anyone want to trade one-a-dem for an 11/24 cpu and 512k memory board?

unibus is always harder to find eithernet and SCSI boards for. For Qbus
that would be less difficult as the DEQNA/DELQA and several vendors for
scsi cards.
