Hello,
I made a haul of various computer stuff yesterday, most of which is too
new to qualify
for the 10 year rule, but not sure if this one is or not.
It is a Digital Equipment 3000, Model 600.
It is a desktop-style case with horizontal orientation. It's HEAVY.
Anyone know anything about this machine?
It powers up OK, and goes through a sequence of flashing different codes
(POST?)
on 8 LED's on the back panel. I haven't hooked up a console to it (it
uses a
funky RJ-style connector for the console port). It has a CD-ROM drive
in the of
the cabinet. There is an old-style Centronics SCSI connector on the
back, as
well as old AUI-style 10Base2 connector for Ethernet. It also appears
to have
a built-in ISDN interface. There's three slots for option cards, and
one haswhat appears to be some kind of color framebuffer card with a
3-pin (RGB?) D-style connector.
Can anyone tell me more about this machine? What processor does it use?
Is it
VAX-like? Operating systems? VMS/Ultrix?
I haven't opened the machine up to see what's inside as yet, didn't have
much time
this afternoon to dig into it deeper.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rick Bensene
