That's because it's a GIGI, Chris.
And I gave my gigi to Henk because it fits better in his collection...The last GIGI I saw on Ebay went for around $1000 IIRC.
Docs are getting quite expensive these days. I prefer manuals to PDFs for no apparent reason - so have spent more than I would like on docs recently.
I'm impressed that this 10 page DEC PDP-8/E 8/F 8/M Interface Configuration Guide 1973 went for $70.
I'd be interested in seeing a scan of it someday if it ever shows up online.
Yeah I also bid for this but went much higher than I was expecting.Too bad I've been outbid the PDP8/A front panel on the English Ebay... Too many people collecting these things...
Wow - somebody really wanted this 8/A front panel. There was the sudden increase from GBP 173.00 to GBP 551.22 with the winning bid at GBP 561.22 (US $675.15).Too bad I've been outbid the PDP8/A front panel on the English Ebay... Too many people collecting these things...
At some point these prices will get high enough that it will be worth the pain to sell some of my collection on eBay.
The GIGI is only bringing about $200 with 6 hours left... What a bargain....And I gave my gigi to Henk because it fits better in his collection...
I hear you... Honestly, I've thought this a few times myself.At some point these prices will get high enough that it will be worth the pain to sell some of my collection on eBay.

yep - down to my last two storage lockers :>)At some point these prices will get high enough that it will be worth the pain to sell some of my collection on eBay.
What's a Microvax 3100/85 worth these days?
Are you sure. Much to my surprise I found that several of my VGA TFT monitors work with sync-on-green and my VAX VLC so its worth a try.. I do see patterning on the background but the display is rock solid and clear."My understanding is that a monitor that supports "sync on green" is required and none of mine support that. "
I am in the same situation with a VaxStation 3100 model 38.
I tried to make a quick and dirty adapter with resistances (it worked for me back in the day to connect a CGA board to a TV) but it didn't work this time.
I wonder if the problem is not on an incompatibility on frequencies between the VaxStation graphic card and the monitor or maybe those monitors do not support 1024X864.
Could an quick and dirty adapter + converter VGA => HDMI be useful?
