Hi Rob, I have three DEC 3000 600 machines which don't work with various issues including multiple cache failures, shorted decoupling capacitors and power supply issues. They seem to accumulate more issues each time I get around to looking at them again :-( If you are willing to part out, I would be interested in your system board and I/O board to help me get some of my machines sorted out. I guess you also have a graphics card? I would be interested in that too. You don't say where you are. I am located in Ireland. Regards, Peter Coghlan.

Hello Rob, If you end up parting this out to others who have dying motherboards or PSUs: How much RAM does it have? I bought a 3000/700 last week on eBay, it's supposed to arrive this week. For what it's worth: I have about a dozen Turbochannel machines that I'm slowly reviving, to work on NetBSD drivers for FDDI and graphics/console support. I've got one of every TC framebuffer (excluding the Kubota/Denali, and the framebuffer with a port to drive an early-90s flat panel). That's partly why there are so few left on eBay at reasonable prices. It anyone has a PMTCE extender box that they're wiling to part with, I'd pay the price resellers list. (They're all long sold). The PMTCE only supports a single TC device, but it ets you install a single 3-slot board, but only consumes one slot on the host. I have two or three of the adapter boards. Rob Jarrett wants to keep his, after the labour of love to restore it. On Monday, April 26, 2021, 11:12:18 AM PDT, Rob Laz via cctech <cctech at classiccmp.org> wrote: ? Digital DEC 3000 I have an old DEC 3000 unit that I no longer have time or space for, and was wondering what to do with it. The rear plate shows PE42A-B9, CPU KN17, DEC 3000 600S and the ROM has a sticker showing Dec 1989. I have a video cable but not a suitable monitor so can't fully test it but I think it is booting up OK as the diagnostic LED's on the rear show 11011101 or DD in hex which I think means it has booted OK to console. It has been running in the past and my last efforts were probably 10+ years ago when I installed VMS version 7 with a guest licence. I also have a few peripherals including a SZ12 disk unit, LK201 keyboard, circular mouse and various SCSI and video cables. It has been stored in my garage which is not totally sealed so it has suffered a little corrosion to the rear connectors but it looks recoverable. All thoughts and opinions welcome.
