Weekend Aquisitions

Went to a computer service warehouse that was going out of business. For the cost of buying the cleanup crew lunch, I picked up: -A box of DEC manuals -An AlphaServer 2000 4/200(!) -System boards for a VAX 8200 and 7000 -Licenses and media for DEC OSF/1 (AXP) -A few VAXStations -Misc RX model drives -A replacement drive module for an RA-82 that looks like a car transmission. -Video boards for DECStation 5000s If I would have had a U-Haul I swear I would have picked up the 11/780. Ever seen the power connector for that thing? Looks like you wire it directly to a high tension power line. I couldn't get into it to swipe the cpu cards because I didn't have the special torx-wrench thing, but I almost convinced the driver of the hi-lo to pry it open. Now it's destined for the scrap-metal melter :( Happy holidays and I hope your scavenging is as fruitful as mine!
