[win2x_at_hotmail.com: Vax 11/780 - Sun 3/470 w/ Mass storage]

As far as power goes for the 11/780, it looks like it may be possible to
feed one with standard 115V, with three separate feeds.

I'm very close to starting mine up as soon as I complete a conversion box.
I'm going to power each phase from a separate 115V branch for tests, and
then later have an electrician run dedicated feeds to the office. I had 2/3
of mine running a couple of weeks ago on a single branch for about 20
seconds before the breaker tripped. It was just a test.... : )

Anyway.... it looks possible to run one from 115.....
