Hm, I saw a TPA-11/582 some times ago. That machine is the hungarian clone
of the VAX 11/782 configuration. The machine is still operational, but
only with one processor. It ran a somewhat hacked version of VMS4.x, but
they dropped the ASMP bits when DEC did the same in 5.0.
Hm, I think the console of that "TPA11/58x" is an interesting one, it's
an LSI-11 clone with a second processor, a Z80... :)
