of the boards (I've never worked on a mv2000, so sorry for my
ignorance).
I'd me more than happy to part with these if you (or anyone else) would
like them - all I would ask is postage. I suppose I should
put them on ebay, but I can't imagine they are worth much. I'm in
Boston if you want to calculate shipping.
As I recall I pulled at least one out of a BA-123 chassis - the "coffee
table with wheels" size cabinet.

If you have MicroVAX II memory that you don't need, that would fit in a BA23
(not sure if it uses the same backplane as a BA123) then I would be happy
to take them. I am in the UK and would pay whatever postage, particularly if
you have any 8MB modules.

I have a MicroVAX 2000 motherboard which boots
fine unless I plug in
a 4MB memory expansion card. I already tried the following:
[1] Attempted to boot with a different 4MB card. Doesn't work.
[2] Booted a different MicroVAX 2000 motherboard with the original
memory card.
Worked.
