Ethan,
If you don't get an answer before the weekend I can open one of mine.
I haven't gotten an answer that matches my ROM set, but I've gotten a
couple of answers with similar patterns. Unfortunately, nobody has
yet sent me anything based on contents matching labels.
Any of the mumble VAX3100 series is a good scsi
machine and can
usually swallow two to three 1.07gb 3.5" drives or larger (boot drive
for the older ones needs to be under 1.07gb).
Sure. I know about the machines (and the 1GB limit and _why_) but
I've never been offered one. I think around here, smaller VAXen died
out (the "newest" one I ran was an 8840 in 1997 at Lucent)
If you get close to Boston I could also arrange a
3100, too dang heavy
to pack safely.
Not this month, but perhaps in the next year. I have many friends in
the area - so far, I've only been once.
I do happen to be going to the Maker Worlds Faire in two weeks and
will have a car. If you were going already (by some convenient means)
and hauled a MicroVAX along, I'd be able to get it home safely.
Thanks,
