Sender: port-vax-owner(a)NetBSD.ORG Delivered-To: port-vax(a)NetBSD.ORG Hi, To anyone interested, my school is looking to make the old VAX cluster disappear. It consists of two MV3600's, several racks of RA81/82's, one MVII, and a TU-something-or-other. I haven't had time to go down and look at the innards of any of the machines, but I will if anyone expresses an interest in them. The whole shebang was operational the day they took it to the basement, so I assume it still is. We also have two or three VS3100's, but I'm really not sure what shape they're in. We are located in downtown Milwaukee, WI. The machines would be free for the taking, or if anyone wants to pay the shipping, we could work something out. I'd really like to see it all go toward the NetBSD cause, otherwise they'll be scrapped for the gold :( Please get back to me as soon as possible. I'm guessing we have until the end of the week, at which time the scrap metal man comes. I've had phantasies about bringing the stuff home, but "home" is actually a dorm room. Dunno if plugging the 3600's in will actually cause a brownout or not. Housing wouldn't be pleased, I'm guessing. Cheers!
