Does anyone here know anything about this machine?
Sure, I have several of them but I haven't used one in a while. They're
the same thing as a 3B1 except that the 3B1s usually have a hump on them
that houses a full height hard drive. Many of the 7300s have been field
modified to include the hump and FH drive. They run UNIX and have a good
set of programs with them. They're usually password protected but unless
someone has "fixed" the OS, it's easy to break into them. One of the
former list members, Ward Donald Griffiths III <gram(a)cnct.com>om>, used to
work on these and is very knowlegdeable about them. Make sure that you get
the mouse, keyboard and monitor for it. I don't think there are any others
that will work on them so you need the original ones.

Thay also had an older apple monitor on the stand for $10
and a keyboard for the PS/2 model 25 for $5 to complete a
few partial machines in the basement.
Still no luck finding the VAXstation parts
