Very nice toys. I have a MV4k200 in a BA215. A very
handy QBus VAX and
it is nice to work on the BA215. No finger breaking and flor crawling
like on the flor stand BA23.
As someone that cares for an 8820 at work,
A
8820 still in production use?!
I know from ragge, the NetBSD/VAX port-master, that there is a 8800 in
north Sweden runing. AFAIK it is the machine behind ftp.luth.se, as the
folowing picture implies:

I really think the 8700 is nuts, but fun.
Nuts
are fun. ;-)
BTW a stupid question: What is a 8700? Is it SBI based like the
11/78[05] and 86[05]0, or is it XMI / VAXBI like the 85x0 or 6k VAXen?
I asume that a 8700 is a 8600 in a biger enclosure?
