We received a FPS AP-180V processor a few months ago.  I don't know how it
works yet as FPS has just gotten it to run their test programs.  I think it was a
machine ment to be use for a final exam for advanced maintenance classes...it
had cables plugged in upside-down, loose leads on the power supply,
incorrect/incomplete mods to one of the control boards, plus as assortment of bad
chips and switches.  So, good luck in getting one up!  (p.s. ours was the first
P-180V (the vax specific AP) on the west coast, which may have something to
do with it)
