I worked on an 11/751 one time under a Guv'mint contract. It was mounted in
a twin engine turboprop with some other fancy equipment (array processors,
etc.) and was flown regularly. This was the first I knew that VAXen could be
flown! While I was working on the contract I was also shown the proverbial
$800 toilet seat (there was one in the plane's bathroom), if you can
remember that far back.
