Does anyone here have a dedicated pairing of their Altair or IMSAI with a Teletype as described in the 1975/6 manuals? I realize most people have some sort of emulated storage or CP/M disk set up. The issue for me is the lack of non-volitile RAM (no core). As a result one has to load long...

What displays, other than the VR299 are compatible with the VAX m7168/69 VCB02 housed in a Microvax 3800? It has a DB15 video connector. Can one use a VR241 or a newer Alpha-era display? The VCM02 manual (EK-104AA-TM) refers specifically to the VR299 display. I have the cable but I don't...
