Same as a pro350 only uses a J11 cpu, faster and can carry more ram.

Yep! Don't know if it has the color option but the VR201 will work with
the correct cable. You also need a lk201/301/401 keyboard.

The console software if that wat it was running is rather odd stuff. It
runs RT11 and possible a hacked Venix(or is it Xenix) and POS. The Venix
is available at the UU.se FTP site and runs ok if your into unix like OS
of the V7 flavor.

They are compact PDP11s and while different form and bus they are pretty
slick. their primary differences are the console (integrated and graphic
capable) and serial IO are non-standard for PDP-11s.
