Subject: DEC 7000 (AXP) stuff available in Austin, TX
This is somewhat offtopic given the processor
architecture, but given that
everything else on these systems seems to be common with VAX:
I just came back from looking at some of the stuff a local liquidator is
trying to get rid off. It's 3 or 4 DEC7000's (all of them alphas, as far
as I can tell. At least one of them 2-CPU). Each machine has one or two
XMI
boxes as well. There's also a crapload of disk
arrays, with 1/2/4GB disks.
Most of this seem to have been clustered (using OpenVMS). I also spotted
a couple of TZ87/86 units.
I'm not enough of a texan to own a huge truck, and given the sheer size of
all this equipment, there's no way I can even resque some of it for
anyone.
But I figured if there's someone else in the area
that's interested they
might want to know about it.
The liquidator can be reached at 'derrick' [less the quotes]
@sanmarcos.net or 512-665-6655.
I have no idea what kind of money he might be looking to get for it.
