I scanned all those 11/780 docs and sent them along
to DFWCUG but the real praise should go to
Alain Nierveze who sent copies of the manuals
to me in the post for scanning.

These are certainly "old-style" DEC technical manuals.
They virtually describe the machine down to the
individual chips.

All we need now is a full set of prints
for the VAX-11/780 ... or a full set of
tech manuals for the VAX-11/750 (or
VAX-11/730) and someone can then do a
full implementation in an FPGA :-)
