I was wondering along those lines myself earlier this morning... I am
thinking, regardless of how many may have originally been produced, I bet
if you gathered up all the VAXen in the hands of collectors now; big and
small; bussed and bus-less, I bet you'd end up with only a few hundred
machines, tops, including those of us with multiples :O I'm curious exactly
how accurate that perception is... maybe I'm way off? The more the merrier
as far as I'm concerned :O
I don't have any firm data, but I suspect it's way beyond that.
Only among the people I know personally, and clubs, I'll probably be
able to count around 20 (if not more). And that is a very small circle
of people compared to the whole world.

How many microvaxen were made? I think that would be a lot more work,
wouldn't it?

Is there any interest in starting a VAX-11/750 registry? I wouldn't
mind knowing who else out there has one and where they are now. If you
are interested, send me e-mail (vax11-...@snowmoose.com).

Well. Despite all recent VAX-11/750 bashing it actually booted both

and Ultrix-32 4.0 today. ...
BTW. The CPU of the 11/750 is contained on five extended HEX boards,
(L0002, L0003, L0004, L0008, L0011/L0016/L0022). Then there is the
optional
RMD (L0006) module and possible MBA and extra unibus adapters.
I used a SCSI2SD card connected to a Emulex UC17 board.
A booting 750:

As a fellow 11/750 owner (sadly, not yet restored), I salute you!
