[rescue] What to do with an orphan DEC Professional 350?

[Ken Hansen]

Have you seen:

(DEC Pro FAQ)

Software)

Oh, and the memory is measured in Kilobytes, not
Megabytes!

Disksize is limited by the Disk COntroller, I think
there was a Rev. that took the capacity above 10 Meg
(or was it 5?)...

Enjoy,

Ken
(Who's Pro is still working, but I haven't really done
anything with since Dr., Dave & I got it up again
(GAWD! was the Phoney-GUI SLOW! "Watch them pixels
draw the screen!") - I have PO/S 2.X on it now, I'd
love to get the toolkit on it w/PO/S 3.2a, esp. if I
can get the compiler for Fortran)
