The Vector 1+ in my collection hasn't been thoroughly tested yet. It does appear complete and is in relatively good condition.
From a separate source I have a variety of Vector manuals and some software.
The Vector Hardware Manual covers the 1+ as well as other Vector Graphic systems.
The Vector Boot Disk in my collection will hopefully work with the 1+ once it's been tried out.
I've also got some PeachTree business software in Vector format.

Perhaps your not as old as I thought you'd be. Back in the 70s--even 80s--it was rather unusual for women to be geeks, much less running a high- tech company.
