Got a partial list of some of this load... (FUJITSU/VAX)

(FUJITSU/VAX) Be sure and check the right hand cage and count the cpu boards. They often get extras added after-market, and the placard on the front usually doesn't get changed. A 6210 can be a 6340 in disguise. (I have seen several like that) BTW, the 600 series is the fastest of the 6000's, but 500 & 600 series cpus won't run in a 200/300 or 400 series chassis without a backplane mod or an extra card in the XMI cage to deliver some different voltages it needs. Bound to be someone who would like the whole machine, I haven't seen a 500 or 600 series 6000 at a scrapper here yet.. (I want one!) It will be harder to save these. They are truly huge, both size/weight and power/cooling requirements wise. LOTS of people would like 750's & microvaxes I'm sure. Sigh. Pity you are on the wrong side of the bloody ocean.
