Hi all,
My VAX 11/750 finally arrived from TN (yeah!!!), and I am just starting
to sort through what I received... Perhaps this weekend I will get it
powered up (though I will have to insure my hottub doesn't start at the
same time and blow the main breaker :)
Congratulations!!! And I'm very, very jealous, tho Ghod knows
where I'd *put* a /750......
I have stuff you are interested in also (I got a stack
of spare boards
that I don't think I need)...
Don't do that just yet! I have several times gotten systems
w/lots of nice spares, or parts of systems, or documentation that
I've subsequently traded/given away, only to get the rest of the
machine ,later on. For example, I had the entire RSTS/E orange wall,
and gave it to a Listmember.... because all my machines at the time
ran RT11, who need all these useless books? More than a year later,
I got (from the same listmember...) an 11/44 system running.... yes
you guessed it.... RSTS/E. Sigh.
Keep the stuff for a while until you get the machine sorted out.
(Just my 200 millidollars)
Cheers
John
