PDP-10, I think the monitor reported a version 5.0.3
Then later a TOPS-10 system that I remember running 7.0.3 or something 
similar.

After that an RT-11 system, VAX-11/750 and then more VAXen and 
MicroVAXen than worth counting.

And in spite of it not being supported, a Microvax II with 8 VaxStation 
2000 satelites worked quite well as a cluster once you figured out the 
right sysgen parameters.

Currently have one 2 VAXen running in emulation, one is an 
infoserver-pi. 2 Alpha DS-10s, And an Itanium system.

Had a VT-180, never powered it up and gave it away.

Have actually used a GIGI, and VXT terminals.

Have 3 VAXen and several Multia's powered off at the moment.
One chassis can be a MV-II or MicroVAX-I depending on which board set I 
install.
