    No.

    Don't know. I assume so.

    Probably. I've about 5 thick folders of POS diskettes
    and lots of boxes of documentation. A full 6ft x 3ft bookshelf.
    I grabbed them years ago and I've never really looked through them.

    Don't know.

    I've really only used the Professional under RT-11.

    I've got two ex-VAX8xxx consoles (Pro380s) and one Pro380
    that had the same RTI board with the little adapter that
    breaks out the serial line(s) and the 3 port parallel device.
    Same cable used in both cases.

    I'm in Australia so if there is no-one closer ....
