Josh;
I have a DEC VR150 that is nearly functional; shows full screen but the
H/V are not in any sync at all. Would love to use it with a VaxStation
3100.
Opened it up and found it quite a complicated monitor, not like a simple
PC monochrome monitor.
Purchased a microfiche manual off ebay
I'm interested in getting one of these, but browsing the manuals it
appears there is software that is installed on the VAX to use them with VMS.
Is the software required to attach terminals and login to various
Vax's? Or is it for management of the Dec Server 300?
If the software is required
One comment...if you don't have the correct cable and a system that is set
for the correct refresh rate, it may appear that the monitor does not
work. Be sure you have compatible equipment. This was a specialized
display.

That's a very interesting comment, got me to thinking. The VR150 was
connected to a working Vax Station 3100 with the proper DEC cable and I
observed the non-working behavior. However, the color RGB output from
the VS3100 works just fine, I boot the machine into VMS and runs just OK

Looks like a mid 70's - early 80's three-axis fluxgate magnetometer.
The precision of a fluxgate is a direct function of the stability of the
frequency source that is driving the drive winding, so an OCXO
I just remember wrestling with one of those and determined I did not have a
matching system. So I traded for something else about 2 years ago, or so.
Mine is photographed on vintagecomputer.net/dec/vr260 I believe

Not necessarily a VAX, but on something that either has DECnet or MOP. Most,

Hi,
I want to use my daisy wheel printer to create letters and memos and
similar (rather simple) texts.
What can I use to write the text?
I think "special effects" with daisy wheel printers are "bold" and
"underline" parts. And "double stroke" (if that's the correct word, I
mean a space cha
Depends on the OS, and the model of the printer, and what its interface is.
If it's a printer that DEC software understands, the WPS family of word
processing software would be a nice option. There's WPS-8, WPS-PLUS for RSTS,
various others probably as well.

I use `groff` for some tasks like that. If it's a simple document I'll only
ever do once, I often just open it with a text editor and set the editor to
display a bar on the 76th column, and manually hit return :)
There are probably Markdown preprocessors that either produce fixed width
text or inp
Hi All,
I'm going to be attempting to repair, both cosmetically and operationally, a
circuit board that had a strip of 12 volt trace "blown off" of it by a
short. The fiberglass is clean and there was no solder resist in the
affected area. I'm considering using 3M 1183 adhesive tinned foil ta

I worked on a v7 system that had a troff driver for iirc Diablo 630
printers, but I don't see it in stock v7. For groff, you'd probably
hunt up a dvi-to-630
