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 collect Qbus PDP-11s and MicroVAX and also have a selection
of 3100 series machines (VAXserver and microVAX).
OS for the Vaxen are OVMS5.4, V7.3 and also Ultrix4.2. OS for the
PDP-11s is RT11, RSTS and unixV6.
Never considered Alpha as they are too recent for me. If I had
one it would be in daily service.
