Got my hands on a piece of computer history to hack on. Needs thorough cleaning and some repairs but that should be a fun pastime. #retrocomputing
Got the VAX-11/750 working, sort-of. Still some memory errors in one of the 4M arrays, so "only" running with 6MB of RAM right now.
Booted NetBSD 2 with a NFS root as I don't have any mass storage up yet. The console tape is emulated by my laptop as the VAX did not come with the TU58 mechanism.
Seems to run pretty well, and even manages to ping my laptop ;)

@peterbjornx that's an amazing find! I used to have an VAX-11/730 running 4.2BSD in my dorm room and still have the scars on my knuckles from moving it.
