I just happened to spot this on eBay while looking at something else.
A VAX 4000-108, in other words a VAX that looks like a DEC Alpha PWS.

ELI only wants $8.5k for it, while they will see you a nice DS20E
dual 667Mhz system for $2.3k, even an ES45 with dual 1Ghz CPU's is
cheaper. :^)
At the same time this is the first photograph I've ever seen of one
of these systems. Somewhere I have the golden egg describing it.

I'm not sure how many people here check VCM on a regular basis, but someone has
posted quite a bit of DEC stuff including a PDP-8/A ($1400.00.)

Anybody got a few TC511001C-12's laying around that I could trade/buy?
I'm working on my Sun 3/110 and the drawer I thought would have some
of these
seems to be picked over... only found 256K RAM chips left... (not
sure what the heck
I'm saving those for, but at least they don't take up a lot of space
8-) )
Or if you know of a supplier... I don't need more than 36 (if I have
to replace them
all on the motherboard...)
Thanks.

Jay, I'll be driving through St. Louis tomorrow and would like to
arrange to pick up my RL02. Please call my cell (417) 293-1984 if you
see this before 2 PM on Wed. 22nd... Sorry to take up bandwidth on the
list, but there's no answer or voice mail at the number you gave me.
thanks

Hi,
I have a couple of these and need some information.
These are NCR mini tower servers with a 68000 cpu. Has
a Qic type Cartridge tape and comm board with 8 TTY ports
(all 15 pin) and 2 CPU ports (1 DB9 and 1 DB15).
I believe that the system boots to the CPU port
on the back and then goes to the tty00 port after it
loads the OS. I can see what it is doing on the CPU port
up to the drive test. It works the drive for a short time
and then stops displaying anything.
The manuals don't say anything about the console port or
pin outs. I would guess they expect the system to be install
by someone other than the end user.
The system freezes on self test when it starts to read the hard
drive Or it has switched over to the comm board and TTYxx ports.
I would guess that the drive needs to be formatted and
the OS reloaded.
So does anyone have a boot tape and/or the serial pin outs both 9 and
15 pin for one of these.
Thanks, Jerry

This brings back one of my favorite computer memories. I was doing field
support for Fujitsu America. Had to make a service call to Daisy, upgrade
some Eagle disk drives. Finished up, was getting the nickel tour and found
another system with an Eagle. So we asked the user if he wanted the
upgrade. He looked startled and said what disk drive? He had used the
system for 5 years, never turned it off. He didn't even know that there was
a disk drive in it!
Now there was a great disk drive. I miss that level of quality.
