Joe Moir from Boston just did the ultimate sell off of
his VAX11 gear.
Boy the stuff went for $50 per box. An 11/780, 11/785, and an 11/795,
ahem, 8650. The were all in ugly parted out shape, but significant
sources for spares. I now have an 11/785 backplane, and since my 11/780
doesn't work properly anyway, I can just as well start converting it.
*Sigh*
So we have another bunch of machines that will never run again, just
because someone figured he could make more money by selling them off in
pieces.
Oh well, since we're at it: does anyone have 64MB or 16MB boards for an
86x0 machine? I'd sure love some.
