Described as a "VAXstation 3", but I don't think that's the proper
designation.
That could very well be a VAXstation-3. If it was sold as a
VAXstation-II and upgraded with a KA650 CPU and MS650 memory
module(s), that'd be an appropriate designation.
In any event, that one (he says he has two) is in the BA123 "World
Box", which have dried up significantly on the market in the past
couple of years and are becoming much harder to find than they had
been.
I have a MicroVAX III, nice system. What might be interesting to
know is what it has for a disk subsystem. If they upgraded the CPU's
and RAM, did the also upgrade the hard drives to something other than
MFM?
In any case I'd say $250 for a KA650 system in a BA123 is well worth
the cost, at least it is if you're local. I wouldn't want to have to
pay shipping on it!
