If anyone can help this fellow out, please reply directly. Besides
looking for a VAXStation or similar, he also has some MVII boards
available.

If you've got an old VAX system (VAXstation, etc) sitting around in
your closet, I'm interested - I want to get a VMS box up and running
here at home. Alternatively, I'm looking for an AXPpci33 motherboard
and CPU to run AlphaLinux on.
I was given a MicroVAX II about a year ago, but the system arrived in
beat-up-and-unusable condition without drives. I ended up giving the
chassis away, after stripping out all the cards, adapters, and various
serial ports, etc. I still have all of that stuff in a box if anyone
is interested. In fact, I'll give them free to anyone in the Austin
or San Antonio area if you want to come pick them up.
I can be reached at mrbill(a)texas.net.
