Hi, all.. I've recently upgraded my microVAX II to
a III and I have enough
spare qbus cards around to built another microVAX II, but unfortunently
no spare chassi.. I've scoured the general area and places like eBay and
i've not been able to track down anything, so I was wondering if anybody
had any spare BA* chassi that they would be interested in selling...
Looking mostly for BA23 chassi since they're a bit more mangable than
something like a BA123... I'd be willing to buy and/or pay shipping and
handling on any that anybody might not need.
Or, if somebody had a spare BA123 or something and lived in the south-
western to south-central Michigan area and rather excessive shipping
costs would not be an issue, i'd be willing to pick them up as well.
Thanks a bunch,

Good luck, I won't tell you how long it's taken me to get even a spare BA23
and BA123 as backups. Something to consider with the BA123's is that
they're more than just a computer, they're also a small table, take up only
a little more floor space when all is said and done, and they're a lot
nicer to work on. Mine has a LA75 and a VT420 sitting on top of it, made a
little shelf to put the VT420 on top of, and paper underneath, and the LA75
holds the keyboard at just about the right height.
You might also want to keep an eye out for BA213's, but of the three I
really do prefer the BA123, as it makes the best table!
