To all,
I have monitored the postings and know of a few collectors of VAXen, all types it seems.
The
PDP family is popular too. What about Alphaservers? some are by classic definition at
least
10 years old such as the 1000/1000A and 1200 series. Alphastations definitely qualify like
the
200/250/255/500 series. I collect most of the Alpha family as I use them frequently.
OpenVMS
and Digital Unix is the OS of choice.
I have in my collection:
1 Alphastation 200/166 - 192M
1 Alphastation 250/266 - 256M
1 Alphaserver 400/233 - 256M
1 Alphaserver 800/500 - 2G
1 Alphaserver 1000/266 - 768M
1 Alphaserver 1000A/333 - 1G
1 Alphaserver 1200/w dual 533 CPUs - 2G
1 Alphaserver DS20/w Dual 500 CPUs - 4G
1 Alpha PWS 600au - 2G
2 Alpha XP1000/667 - 2G
1 Alpha XL366 - 256M
2 DEC3000 300X - 256M
2 Alphastation 500/400 and 333 - 512M
I have VAXen as well, fully loaded
2 MicroVAX 3800 w 64M and fully loaded with QBUS options
The VAXen are not used as often, but I have one client left that still has these machines
in use.
I remember the PDP family as I have used them in the past, but I do not have any desire
to re-live that part of my past.
Enough for now, let me and/or the group what you have. Maybe we can form some sort of
list for contact and advice or maybe part swapping.
