DEC stuff, specialty: big iron, VAX 11/78x with nice vertical
9-track tapes, VAX 6000 400 and 600, all networked through CI
and HSC90. uVAX II just because, smaller than that is boring.
Don't want VAX stations. PDP 8, PDP-11 a little. That's it.
No big extension planned any more, focus is on quality running
highlights. Of course the C64 which was what I started with.
I want to get all the bells and whistles for those machines get
them networked and hooked up in every possible way. A frame buffer
to use the VAX 11/780 as a workstation. Fill every option slot
with stuff. I love RA90 disks, use them everywhere. Would want
one RM03 drive with a good size platter drum.
Operating system: UNIX only. 4.3 BSD on the VAX 11 and uVAX,
Ultrix on the 6000, ultimately NetBSD on the 6000. MiniUNIX on
the PDP 11/03. the C64 can also run LUnix. I may write my own
OS for the PDP8/A that would be somehow LISP based (and
bootstrapped through the console panel. Ah, I wouldn't mind a
LISP machine. But that's it.
