DO NOT EMAIL ME ASKING FOR MORE SPECIFICS. If you are interested in *ALL* of
the gear, contact me off list and I'll put you in direct contact with the
owner.
If you want just PART of the gear, do not email me. Email whoever winds up
getting the gear and work it out with them.
Just as a warning: a VAX 8600 is *heavy*. You will need a truck with a
tailgate lift, and be at least two, if not three people to move it. You
will not be able to lift it by hand, even if you are plenty of people.
(And yes, I'd like to get the memory boards and other small bits of it,
but I doubt anyone will pick it up to start with, and even less that
anyone would part things out if they did indeed pick it up.)
