Yup. That was the whole idea behind the large VAX/Alpha "rescue" I did a
number of years back. I'd planned to put them back to work doing *BSD and
other OSS development. Sadly, I've not yet had the room to set them up, as
the only usable systems I got out of the deal were the larger ones.
Another unnamed and underhanded person on the list here swiped most of the
smaller machines out from under me, though I did get a few mostly
functional 4000s. At least the large systems are safely packed and stored
until I move into a larger building.
