It has been claimed, so it is going to a good home.

Subject: Re: VAX 4000-300 Available in the UK
I have a running 4000/300, and these are a very nice machine - it's my usual
go-to VMS box. I hope someone picks it up and gives it some TLC!

don't have room for it.
It is in a BA440 enclosure (marked VAX 4000-400). The CPU board had a
couple of problems, the levers that are used to push it into the slot
have been broken, however it will push into the slot OK and work. The
onboard Ethernet (SGEC) is also not working, but I have included a
DESQA so you can network it. It has 64MB of memory (2x 32MB). It also has a
CXY08
board.
It does not have any disks because I want to keep the few DSSI disks I
have, however I will include two DSSI covers. You can still boot it as
a satellite of course. In fact I was toying with the idea of putting a
Raspberry Pi inside the enclosure with a crossover LAN cable and
running if off SIMH on that.
It is free, however I would appreciate a small donation, as it has
cost me money to collect it to save it from being dumped.
It is in the UK, in South Manchester. Although I am currently working
a lot in Coventry so could bring it to that area. I will also be at
DEC Legacy in Windermere 11-12 April, although I would prefer to leave
room in my car for the machines I want to exhibit, if possible.
