I want to have a 6000. But I don't have my own home and don't have a means
to transport it... Hopefully after 1 year when I get my job there will
still be some 6000 around.

The VAX 6000-400 is in Portsmouth VA (Virginia Beach

for the most part is still up for grabs. The maximum fee I would
want is $24.99 to cover my eBay costs. If I take stuff out first,
there will be no charge for the rest. If there is real interest
I will leave it at a working system, otherwise I may remove things
more thorroughly. But make up your mind soon. I know that there
are no disks with it, and I will find out more and let you
know. If I don't hear a clear committment, there will be another
nice VAX going to into the melting oven. If you have never seen
a 6000: it's the size of an American fridge, weighs 800 lb (400 kg),
sucks 800 W power, needs 3-phase power or at least 220 V
(laundry dryer hookup.) I have instructions for a relatively
easy power conversion (just make another plug.) It does not (yet)
run NetBSD, but Ultrix 4.4 and 4.5 and may be Ultrix 4.2 and higher.
VMS of course.
