FW: First come first served: VAX 11/750 (UK)

<> So, would any of our UK members like a VAX 11/750? Possibly one tha <>has a SCSI adapter? <> < <I gather that these are quite big, how does it compare for size with my <MicroVAX II with 5 RA81 drives (ie 2 19" rack units)? the basic 750 box is a 40" (memory test) wide by 40" high rack. So it's smaller than your dual rack microvax. It can be powered off 110V at reasonable current so in the 230v world it's not a huge problem there. <I would like to ask for it but if it is a roomful then SWMBO might throw <me _and_ the VAX out of the house ;-) Depends on the disks alongside. Performance wise the 750 is still slower than MVII, though IO perfomance can be much better due to unibus vs qbus. Though reasonable cooling and basic maintenance they tend to run a long time with little effort. Allison
