Maintaining old DEC stuff would indeed be a niche, so
I can understand
that. However, someof the things I said still apply. For example, when
a DZ11 goes bad, do you actually fix the board (I assume, of course,
that you use DZ11s)?. It does not really make sense to, from a
business perspective, since good ones are common as dirt and quite
available.
Mostly it's RQDX3s, terminal servers (5 out of 29 delivered yesterday needed
repair), Kennedy tape drives, LA and LG printers, even surface tech on older
Alphaservers. The only things we won't attempt a fix on are SMPSUs, purely
because the one bloke we had who could do that emigrated to NZ last year :)
