[Simh] VAX 11/780 Model

[Hittner, David T [US] (MS)]

It would be spectacular to see a printable model of the 11/780.

It would be particularly amazing if the 11/780 model was a self-contained unit for the Pi Zero and have the board mounted internally in such a way that the external connectors for power, console serial adapter (DB9 or MMJ?)), Ethernet, and SD card placed such that you can access them through the outside “skin” of the model. It would be amusing if you could insert the SD card through a slot on the 11/780’s “removable disk drive”, but that layout may not be possible.

Can’t you just see it as a giveaway at a VSI Boot Camp?

do you have a 3d model for that awesome VAX-11/780 model case ?



Alas, no. It is one of few made dozens of years ago. I'm thinking of starting a kickstarter for 3D-print of same...
