I found the stash at work today, and dragged it home. I had already copped the DEC 3000/300x Friday, and my boss told me he thought there was some more of that stuff around somewhere. So I snarked it. 3 DEC 3000/300x 2 untested as yet, w 2xRZ26E each and looks like 64M RAM also MAGMA 2+1 TC (serial/parallel adapter?) 1 w/2xRZ26E and 80M RAM. no MAGMA booting OSF/1 v3.2, Oracle 1 Mouse/KBD breakout w/mouse. 1 DEC SZ12 expansion unit with an RZ58 and a Seagate ST32430N 1 DEC MicroVAX 3100-90 w/serious problems - system board looks like it was wet & powered up. :o( Boots to console, but gets errors at several checkpoints and ends up with "normal operation not possible". Haven't done much trouble-shooting. Looks like 128M RAM *** RRD42 - with "OpenVMS v6.2 Binaries 1 of 1" in caddy! 2xRZ26-E 1G RZ26L-E 1G 3 DEC MicroVAX 3100-80 1) 72M RZ25-E 425M No OS 2) 40M TLZ06 4mm DAT 2xRZ25-E @425M OpenVMS 6.2 3) 40M TLZ06 4mm DAT 3xDSP3107 @1G OpenVMS 6.2 RZ26-E OpenVMS 6.0 1 VSXXX-AA Mouse untested 1 VSXXX-AB Graphics Tablet & Puck. untested, and haven't found the Stylus yet. Do the RZ26-E drives always sound like a gravel-crusher, or are all these toast? All this cool stuff, and the other day I was heavily lusting after an MV3100-30 on eBay, and right now I'm just p*ssed because the '90 is broken. Spoiled, huh? Doc
