I'd recommend a Sparcstation IPX; small, and can be run from a serial
console. Cheap or free; it maxes at 64MB RAM. You can run Linux on it.
I have two running Solaris 2.6 .
Never had much particularly bulky stuff; I had to leave the hp 9000/370,
9000/433s, their monitors (about 200lb total), the uVaxII and other stuff
behind when I left the U.S. I kept the hp 9000/380, though, and it is
up as nazas.autonoma.edu.co .
Hmmm... I'd recommend a Decstation 2000 for the R2000. Though I am not
sure about the status of free OS's for it... I am not sure if netBSD
supports it... there was something odd about the way it handles pages.
But I remember using a 12MHz model with a mono framebuffer;
Ultrix; interesting for its time. It made a good ftp server until about
three years ago, when we decommissioned it. I think Linc Fessenden
ended up with it. Are you still there, Linc?

I didn't say I had all of those.
In particular I am missing the SPARC,
the Alpha amd the R3000 at least. and most of
the HP calculator (and one of the MIPS - I have a
I started seriously collecting (and using) HP handhelds when I ran out of
space for 19" racks :-). It was then that I discovered that although an
HP41 will fit in my pocket, the disk drive, Thinkjet printer, tape drive,
data logger, RS232 inteface, video interface, HPIB interface, etc take up
a fairly large bench :-)
The HP3421 is even bigger.
DECstation
that has a MIPS processor, R3000 IIRC). The rest
I have most of an R2000-based machine. A Whitechapel Hitec 10 IIRC.
Probably enough to get it going again, but I have no hardware information
at all on it (not even a pinout of the R2000 chip) so it's going to be a
very long-term project...
