There's a VAX8600 for sale here in Germany, not on Ebay or any other
platform, but on personal mediation only. I have tried several times to
have it sold, but no success yet. I am only the agent and do not receive
any commission. I only want to have it salvaged from rotting in the barn
where it is stored.
Let me know if you're interested.

Dear list members,
I was wondering if anybody is aware of VAX 86x0 schematics having
survived the product life cycle within DEC? I searched the web extensively
but could not find any hints on this.
It seems that DEC never published such details as
schematics for the
successor of the VAX 11/78x systems, not even on microfiche, maybe due to
the macrocell array implementation (just a guess). All I could find is that
there were illustrated parts list on microfiche.
However, maybe Hewlett Packard handed
DEC-internal documents over to a
museum such as the CHM? Or a former designer still have schematics in their
archives?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Pierre

I have the VAX 8600 Training Print Set and I sent it to someone (sorry,
forgot who) years ago.
There's at least one online version here:

I don't know what, if anything, would be the difference between this and
the normal MPxxxx drawings.
