What is the model number of the machine? This can be either
something like /76 or in the form XX-XXX-XN etc. I doubt it can run a VGA
monitor (15 pin). It should have VMS as the OS and may support DEC Windows
on a DEC graphics monitor. Otherwise just need a VT type monitor or connect
a PC to it via the serial port and use a terminal emulator such as WinQVT32
(share ware).
If you don't want the machine. I'll have it! I want a VMS
machine to play with at home. Through DECUS you can get a free VMS license
plus free licenses for layered products and development tools such as DEC
BASIC, C++, Fortran, Etc. You will have to pay about USD30 for the CD-ROMS
though.

Subject: VAXstation 3100
I can pick up a VAXstation 3100 (just the
box, no monitor/keyboard/etc).
Is this worth messing with? What's in it
processor wise? Can I rig it to
a VGA monitor? Should I let it pass?
