2nd: a number of DECStation 2100 and 3100 series
units. (along with
various peripherals and expantion boxes.
What are they, and what do they run? (and docs?)
I have one, it runs VMS 5.3 (VAXServer 3100)
I am talking to the VAX guy at ATS (CAterpillar branch) about it. They
have an 11/780 out there, in full working order and DOING SOMETHING
USEFUL!! Quite an impressive show, these guys really use the thing! And
if/when they get rid of it, guess who's first in line to get it!
Lucky for me the man who runs it is a nice guy. And for about $100-200, I
may be able to get my hands on an 8550. Assuming I can re-assemble it,
it's been taken apart.

I have one, it runs VMS 5.3 (VAXServer 3100) If it runs VMS, you do *not* have a DECstation. A
VS3100 is what you
have, Daniel. A DECstation is not a VAX and does not run VMS. (Though
it will run Ultrix and - I just discovered - NetBSD. See
http://www.netbsd.org/).
Real work or hacking? :) Theirs is for supporting other people who
have old VAXen. They even still use paper tape!

Umm... yeah? So? Lots of us use old VAX's for real work,
everyday.
