Sorry, the "other" vax that I discovered when I was first digging out what was
in storage was an 11/785. Given what an 11/785 is, you can probably figure out how
*tight* the storage units were packed. ;-)
I do have *lots* (2 pallets worth) of various uVaxen...no one has shown *any* interest in
them, so it's off to the scrapper. :-( The 4000/700 is the first Vax that
anyone's shown any interest in. There are other Vaxen of that ilk (same sized cabinet
as the 4000/700). Hmm.
I guess the big question is "where are
you"?
I believe he's in Santa Clara, California. So, not very close to Dallas at all. :(
One of my coworkers just texted his daughter's boyfriend to see if he'd be
willing to haul and store a pickup truck full of stuff for me. They live in Tracy. I'm
still wrestling with the idea of driving up myself. An 11/44 would be nice if it's in
reasonably complete and repairable condition, and Guy also mentioned an ASR-33 that would
interest me.
Seeing how Guy finds forgotten VAXen laying about, I wonder if there might be an 11/730
in a rack with a couple of RL02 drives hiding under a pile of laundry? :)
It occurs to me that agonizing over which model of PDP or VAX I should acquire is one
heck of a first-world problem!
