(I dimly recall reading someplace that they haven't done a VAX build in so long that some of the build chain has suffered bitrot, and some VAX-specific innards might have been misplaced.)
- tyingq 6y agoSure. I'm in the space that doesn't care about that. This whole COVID isolation thing revived an interest in retro computing for me. So I've ordered and repaired/hacked 8+ old CPM, classic mac, RISC Unix, etc computers since March. It's a little out of control (space/attention wise) now, to where I need to sell the things I've fixed and start a new batch. VAX/VMS might be a good next candidate.
