| Notes | DEC produced the VT-180 (codenamed Robin) as an upgrade to a standard VT-100 terminal. An add-in board supplied a processor, RAM and IO including a disk interface. An external disk cabinet (or two) were added for storage. The system leveraged the popularity of the VT-100 termninal and gave DEC an entree into the PC arena. |

This DEC Robin is in great cosmetic condition but came without software so I can't test it.
It did come boxed with the original docs, etc.
The DEC Robin in my collection was generously donated by Stuart Wyatt.
