Server space, SGI O2 drive sled, DEC 3000-300x (Pelican+)

...
   I have a
3000/300 that I had Tru64 ver. 5.0 install CDs for 
 -- tho I'm not sure where they're packed currently...

 Would that work?  
 It may be too much; back in the day the 3000-300LX was an OSF 1.3 machine
 and it was quite speedy, though having said that my own 3000-300 came with
 Tru64 4.0G CDs so 5.x could be OK. I've got easy access to 4.0x CDs if needs 
Somewhere around Tru64 V5.0 support was dropped for the Turbochannel graphics
cards.

I personally wouldn't describe a 3000-300LX as "quite speedy", I have one
somewhere, and used it as a VMS server for quite a while.  OTOH, it uses
72-pin True Parity SIMM's, rather than something proprietary, so it isn't a
bad system.
