Nice! Sounds like a HECnet node in the making!
I have a large number of TurboLaser Bus modules here, for
AS8000-family machines. I've been unsuccessful in finding one to put
them in...I want an 8200 or an 8400, but they seem to have completely
disappeared. I haven't seen one on the market for YEARS. I have no
idea of what's up with that.

4000 AXP Model 710. Got it 10 years ago, fiddled with it when I first
got it (it boots to one of two different versions of UNIX on two of
the 5 installed SCSI disks) but don't have much reason to use it
often.
One interesting historical note - it was formerly OSCAR, the card
catalog computer for the Ohio State University library system. I
picked it up from surplus for $50 because I wanted the included TSZ07
(and I can't ship a TSZ07 for $50!) I put more hours on the tape
drive reading old backup tapes than I ever put on the server.
It has one CPU and about 1/4 the max amount of memory.
