I start v7 Unix and play "Hunt The Wumpus".
(I finally got it put together this weekend, and fixed the last couple
dodgy joints tonight).

Go you. PDP-11 will always be my favorite assembler, there is an octal
dump for a reason and that reason is the PDP-11. Or maybe PDPs in
general. I had a TA in Uni that could read octal like it was PDP
assembler.

Congrats.
Those are so much fun. I had mine running 6th Ed
at the Vintage Computer Festival Southeast last
spring in Atlanta.
A serious blast from the past.

Huh; apparently the VT520 had (well, has...) a PS/2 compatible 6-pin
mini-DIN connector: http://web.mit.edu/dosathena/doc/www/ek-vt520-rm.pdf
I'm most familiar with the earlier VT models that use MMJ connectors for
the keyboard (and RS-232). That's kinda nifty, though.

Actually... IIRC the RJ11 was used on the VT2xx and 3xx series terminals. The MMJ was only on the RS232 port.
I would check, but I gave away my last non VT180 DEC terminal.

A PITA, but I actually have the block to crimp them and some MMJ stock in
my basement. Lego Mindstorms use it also as a way to try to keep
people from by options from other folks. I never thought it was nifty mind
you.

I stand corrected. I keep a VT420 on my desk with an LK421 (the "Unix"
keyboard), connected to my workstation (now via a USB serial adapter). I
just popped the keyboard and it is, indeed, an RJ11 for the keyboard.
Serial is MMJ, which connects to an MMJ<->DB9 converter which connects to a
mini null-modem to the USB adapter. So simple.

Busted EPROMs certainly would fit the symptoms. What EPROM does a MicroVAX
3100 use, and does simh have the requisite binary image? I've got a ROM
burner....
