I got a great bunch of artifacts recently from an ex-Digit (DEC Employee)
who was finally not going to use his VAX for anything else any more.
These included:
A set a PAKs that rivals the Hobbyist offering
and exceeds it in that it has a PL/I and APL PAK.
Several RRD40 caddys and a couple of the SCSI version
of the RRD40 (I'm on the look out for the non-SCSI
version, will trade one for one!)
A VAXServer 3100/M48 (yet another one I didn't have
yet.) with all the option cards (multi-serial, DMF32,
etc)
A bunch of manuals, including the VT103 users guide
and a bunch of VAX 11/730 manuals (including the CPU
technical manual!)
An Ultrix-32 Condist for VAX (v3.0)
Three VMS Condists (5.2, 6.0, and 6.1)
Cables for various things.
Some RTL replacement parts for the PDP-5 !!!!
Bits of ephemera from the DEC hey day (VAX brochures,
DECUS disks, etc)
Some more docs
Available for trade:
TU58 Technical Manual
TU58 User's Guide
RL02 User's Guide
RL01/RL02 manual
Some DECConnect stuff and a crimping tool with about
20 MMJ "heads"
Lots of little detail parts that are so hard to come by when you need them.
