I saw a cute
little vax today at a scrap yard, apparently still intact, it
was a 5500 in a BA400 chassis. I don't think I can bring it home, but
should I be tempted? Anybody else in SoCal looking for one?
I did snag a fairly burnt in VT520, unfortunately minus any cables, and
left about 5 more behind.
Are you sure this wasn't a DECsystem 5500?
That sounds right, someone called it a Vax in the yard, but I think it is a
Dec System 5500. Property tag in service date was 1990, and inside it looks
like a pair of scsi drives. It had a trouble log on the side, but I didn't
look that closely.
