Tom,
I feel your pain... My VAX 11/750 had mouse "evidence" all over its
interior when I got it--including, but not limited to, a full nest
on top of the console tape drive.
Didn't really think about the potential problems with urine...
But, with the exception of a bad RS-232 line receiver, which is
a common issue anyway, it works great.

Sifting through ye ol' computer shed, I brought down two alpha 255's I
intended to combine and make one working machine.
I was not too surprised to find that the local field mice had got inside the
case through an open pci-slot cover and had made a nest.
I cleaned out the seeds and wadding and mouse doody, but I need to probably
clean to motherboard from mouse urine.
Any suggestions??
I know urine can have a possible corrosive effect so I want to make sure I can
clean the MB thoroughly, before attempting to put it back together.
Cheers,
Tom
