Does anyone know a good source of information or documentation (besides Classic Computing newlines) for vintage computers such as the DEC MicroVAX?
Thanks

You could always just try asking the question here, a few of us have microVAXes in our past (and in my case, an 11/750 in my parent's garage)...

Some of these might help though:

I've a friend who is a big VAX nerd so I'm sure he will be able to help with any questions you might have.

I am suppose to be able to aquire a MicroVax within the next couple of weeks. I used to work at Digital Equipment Corp, years ago (in Phx, AZ) running a production line that made the LA-120 teleprinters.
I have no knowledge of the MicroVax's so pretty much ANY information documentation would be helpful.
I could send/post pictures that I received from the current owner, if that would help...
Thanks

Hugo,
Awesome! A 750 in the garage? Well bet it is warm in the garage...
Was very curious on what you are using/did use if for?
Don't suppose it can do any audio streaming...
