Make up your mind soon. (was: Help, I will now buy another VAX 6000-420 in Virginia Beach, I can't possibly take that thing ....

The VAX 6000-400 is in Portsmouth VA (Virginia Beach area) and for the most part is still up for grabs. The maximum fee I would want is $24.99 to cover my eBay costs. If I take stuff out first, there will be no charge for the rest. If there is real interest I will leave it at a working system, otherwise I may remove things more thorroughly. But make up your mind soon. I know that there are no disks with it, and I will find out more and let you know. If I don't hear a clear committment, there will be another nice VAX going to into the melting oven. If you have never seen a 6000: it's the size of an American fridge, weighs 800 lb (400 kg), sucks 800 W power, needs 3-phase power or at least 220 V (laundry dryer hookup.) I have instructions for a relatively easy power conversion (just make another plug.) It does not (yet) run NetBSD, but Ultrix 4.4 and 4.5 and may be Ultrix 4.2 and higher. VMS of course. regards -Gunther -- Gunther Schadow, M.D., Ph.D. gschadow(a)regenstrief.org Medical Information Scientist Regenstrief Institute for Health Care Adjunct Assistant Professor Indiana University School of Medicine tel:1(317)630-7960 http://aurora.regenstrief.org
