Dean and I worked in the museum from about 10am to 5pm.
A few of the microcomputer cart backdrops came down overnight. We addressed this by putting superglue between the adhesive side of the velcro and the backdrop material. Hopefully they'll still be up the next time we go there! If that still doesn't work then we will try a mechanical fix (maybe put hose clamps and/or hooks around the cart poles, or something along those lines.) You can see the wall side of the micro exhibit and its new backdrops here: http://vcfed.org/evan/backs_wall.jpg and the center aisle side here: http://vcfed.org/evan/backs_center.jpg. Remember, there are going to be signs on each unit where the rear poles extend beyond the top shelves.
Per the recent discussion about terminals, we put the Televideo 750 with the Prime 6500 and a VT100 with the VAX-11/785. There wasn't room for separate tables in that area so we put the terminals on top of the computers.
A DECwriter LA-120 would have been the more appropriate 'console' for a/any VAX-11/78x with wide paper. I have a fine speciment of an LA-120 ir you're interested for VCF.

What rom revision does your LA120 have in it? (i.e. what 23-xxxxx numbers on the chips?) I'm hunting for the 'older' LA120 ROM set, which was on 5 chips (all 2316 mask roms). I have a good copy of the 'newer' ROM set on 2 chips (one 24-pin 2364, and one 2316).

Yeah I'm definitely agreeing now. Will make the change next time.

Maybe! We have four or five DECwriters but I don’t know which models and it is hard to tell if they are clean or yellowed in the warehouse. I will check again and will be in contact soon.
