Heads up: Vax 3400 for disposal

Greetings everyone on both lists: I have a lead on a microvax near Birmingham, UK. All items in good, working condition unless marked "not checked". I am interested in people's comments, but the person to make offers, answer queries, etc. is Martin Poole, martin.poole(a)pgen.com Closing date for tenders Noon (British Summer Time) 12 July 1999. System: Microvax 3300/3400 Computer System 32Mb MOS memory, 3*381Mb DSSI ISE, Std Kbd., Mono Term. Expansion Cab, ?" Cartridge Tape Drive Spare Microvax 3400 Computer System (backup m/c.) (Not checked) Printers and peripherals:- LA324 -AE 24 pin Dot Matrix Printer (Three off) LA210 -A3 Letterprinter (Three off) Oki Microline 393C 24 pin Dot Matrix Printer (Three off, of which two not checked) Assorted tapes and ribbons for above The machines are now decommissioned but were in continuous use from new in 1989 till April 1999. They have always been supported by a maintenance contract, originally with Digital but in recent years a company called ICM Team had the contract. There are three cabinets, all desk-side size (28" tall x 14" wide x 20" deep) being (I think) the main CPU, the backup CPU and the expansion box. Since I (still!) haven't signed the lease on a storage unit of my own (local council not replying to letters), I shall probably not be bidding, but what do people know about these machines? How fast / reliable / compatible / easy to set up are they? Good luck, one and all. Philip. PS Enquiries and offers to Martin, just in case you'd forgotten. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
