[GreenKeys] Model 33 with my PDP-11

[Daniel Jones]

Very cool video,

I never played with any PDPs but did have the chance to play with VAX stuff in the Navy.  I have a couple MicroVax 3100s and Vaxstation that I play around with at home using a VT420.  

I would love to get my hands on a small vax server like a 4000 or something a tad earlier.  

I did subscribe to your channel also.
