While I was at the regular weekly UW (Wisconsin)
Friday surplus sale
yesterday picking up an Intergraph Clipper system for my collection (
working 8-) ), I noticed a DecSystem 5400 with 2 RA90 disk drives and a
TK70 tape drive is available out there for $20, including a short rack.
The system looks very very clean, physically. I have no room for it.
It is not a MicroVAX, but is instead a RISC system, presumably using a MIPS
RISC processor.
Wish I had enough to ship/get such a thing to AZ.... Someone tried to sell
me one of these locally about 8mo ago for about $800...
Nice boxes for their time. QBus version of the DECstation line of
MIPS-based machines.
