Sorry, the Emacs maintainers don't have the resources to be of much
more help to you.  However, here is a message that appeared here some
time ago from some people you might want to get in touch with.

  Now available from Project Knu is our new FREE Vax-11/780 compatible
computer.
  The Free Hardware Foundation opposes the tyranny of hardware
manufacturers not allowing everyone to have one of their machines for
free.
  With volunteer labor, we have built a machine just like the
VAX-11/780, even down to its nameplate.  Just send us a note,
enclosing a self addressed, stamped shipping crate (extra large) and
we will send you our KNU machine.
  Send your request to:

  Free Hardware Foundation, Inc.
  1E+3 Weight Ave
  Camtunnel, MA 02138

  We will pack it and ship it the same day.
