There is a large pile of VAX and other documentation
waiting for
disposal on the 7th floor of Disque Hall at Drexel University in
Philadelphia.
Disque hall is located on the former 32nd street between market and
chestnut streets, its the tall(~10 floors)) brick building.
Pretty much everything paper, and a working Phaser 370? printer (missing
its paper tray and missing the centronics->microcentronics adapter but
otherwise working) is free for the taking.
This documentation originally went along with the VAX machine which
someone from the list rescued from there about 2 years ago when it was
being disposed.
This is all still there. I found the VAX installation manual and license PAK buried in a
seperate pile behind some fuzzy wall panels (I have it cached at home now), so there's
also some networking manuals and other stuff behind there in grey binders in additional to
the 22 orange binders of VAX stuff. This stuff IS going to be disposed of eventually, so I
suggest anyone who wants it to get it QUICK. Theres also a bunch of printouts, schematics,
software manuals, and source code listings for some old CERN-associated neutrino
experiment which was run years ago, if anyone is interested in that.
