Thanks to everyone who replied...this list seems to be a great source of
info...

Okay, so if I get this machine...it looks like from some FAQs that I
ought to be able to hook up generic SCSI drives to the machine...

Maybe my Sanyo CD-ROM will work? Anyone know of a good place for info
on using 3rd party SCSI CD-ROMS with a VAX or with where I could buy a
cheap VAX CD-ROM?

Will I be able to network this thing in with my Linux, FreeBSD, and
Windows box? Currently I am using thin coax and sticking it in there
with a terminator on the end ought to do it? I guess VMS uses TCP/IP

Any places via the internet that anyone knows about with good prices on
old VAX equipment?

Anyone know of a place to get manuals for a VAXStation or some good
beginning VMS books?

Lastly, found the hobbyist CD for $30 at Montagor(?) Is this the
standard deal or can I get it cheaper...I am kinda on a small
budget...all my money goes to paying of college debt and saving up for a
house for my wife and I :)

Thanks again,
Bill
