Given how obscure the DEC Rainbow is, I thought I would summarize some of the more important take-aways I had in cleaning mine up and getting it working. renaissancedork.com/using-the-

What was the release price / MSRP of the DEC VT100 in 1978?

The most I can find is $1550 but that was in 1980.

The -11/780 was marketed as a 1-MIPS machine. In truth, it was probably less than 0.5 MIPS.

The VAX did have a built-in speed throttling auxiliary hardware. It is called the 300-baud .

teaser: a sales leaflet from the early days. You can tell it's early because it shows Securicor and Wimpey/Wimpol's involvement. Later on Wimpey stepped back and handed the reins to Securicor.

The Locator in the photo is the Mk1, the original 68008 based unit.

edit: I love the little photo of the hardware - an RA81 hard drive and something else on top of it.

I took an occasional short-break from the last 2 years reading only books by / writers to read a 70's -Fi series (I saw it referenced in one of those books!) and just found out that the writer was both a believer that was caused by drug use; and a .

I am going to finish the series, because he also worked for and I am curious about some references - But this is why I avoid , !

Hummm... My old adversary, died.

I'll never be asked to contribute to his but he was the best I ever knew and I think he'd have been pleased to hear that -- So if he faked his death just to get that out of me, you are still a bastard, Mr Mitnick!

The ridiculous level of nerdity that is popped into my head at random and honestly if you've never read it or even if you have and it's been a while I recommend it! I mean you can't beat the adventures of Luke Vaxhacker, RS232, 3CPU and their fight against the evil Are-Em Star! 😂 bsd.org/decwars.html

What a surprising interesting thing for Facebook Marketplace to advertise to me 👀 .

I’ve seen plenty of old computers but a DEC Rainbow out of everything?!
