All,
Got this from the guy in Houston who supplied the VAX VLC machines.
Contact him (best) or me if you are interested.

Subject: More DEC Stuff Coming
...
I was just notified today by the ChemE department head at Rice that it
is time to clean out one of the labs. It has mostly PDP stuff, some
VAX stuff, documentation, some media. KZ's going to make a rough list
so we can estimate the volume. The VAX stuff has been used in the last
year, but most of the PDP stuff has been off for 8 years or more, so
may need some TLC when being checked out the first time (if you don't
know about power supply caps, you probably shouldn't ask :-) I've made
some promises for some of this stuff already - but if there is something
you are dying for, it might be a good time to remind me. Between the
Rice stash and the AspenTech stash, there should be lots of machines
for everyone.
If Intel IRMX (?) means anything to anyone, bug me. I think thats the
system name - and they are rare (but not DEC stuff ...)
I think we will keep the extra RS6000/AIX IBM systems for spare parts
for clio - but you never know...
I know there are some VT103s (VT100 systems with built in dual TU58s
and QBUS backplanes) - lots of QBUS cards, an 11/23+ rack mount system,
BA123 based MicroVAX II with ESDI and RQDX3/RD54 disks. I think the
11/23+ has an RQDX1 with RD51 drive (don't cringe!), dual RX02s
(I have a requirement to be able to read some media on these first!)
There is a requirement to take lots of pictures for our scrapbook :-)
