Thanks for the tip. I do have one of those, but I didn't look in there
because the case is so tough to open (tight friction fit). I got it for
free w/RAM and an ST1480 disk with some version of Ultrix on it. The
machine also happened to have two frame buffers, but I have no 3w3 cables
(or DEC workstation monitors), so I've only operated it with a serial console.
Don't remember if it's full of RAM or not.
