Subject: Re: MicroVAX I
old SGI Reality Engine II a couple of years ago. After checking
it he found
that it had five original style PSUs in it and that they were prone to
catching fire. Even though it was an old machine SGI came to his house and
replaced the PSUs with five brand new ones at no charge. It turns out that
the PSUs (especially NEW ones) are worth CONSIDERABLY more than what he
paid for the entire machine.
Heh, but could you imagine HP coming to Witchy Towers to replace a wiring
harness they probably have no stocks of in a machine they almost certainly
have no knowlege of these days? :) Even my local Digital office as-was
wouldn't have a stock of those....
cheers
