Subject: Free or Best Offer: VAX and RS/6000 hardware
Early 90's vintage DEC VAX systems and
peripherals, IBM RS/6000 parts.
http://clio.rice.edu/freehw.txt
Other items lying around my office since I created the list may also be
available (hard disks, Alpha systems with dead power supplies, etc).
Pickup in far west Houston, Texas, USA. I would prefer to support
VMS hobby usage, but anyone who shows up to take the big stuff gets it.
I don't have time to package or ship anything, but if you are really
desperate for something I might be able to find someone for you to
negotiate with.

Well, bad karma for replying to my own mail, but I noticed he's got a few
Q-bus SCSI cards listed. Whoever picks up this lot, please forward one to
me. Doc, you're around there, aren't you? Postage due is fine. ^_^

I think Toth is a lot closer. :)
Seriously, that's a 2 1/2 hour drive from here. I might go, if
nobody else is grabbing. I already have one of almost everything on the
list, but hey. I can almost see my garage floor....

Of course I would! But since I have 2 already, I thought I'd let some
others have a chance. :^)

The only DEC/VAX hardware that I currently own is a MicroVAX II in a BA123
with 5MB(?) of ram and no networking hardware. I donno if I'll end up with
the whole lot that was offered or not, but if so, I'm sure there will be
things I'll not have much need for...
I'll post more when I hear back from the current owner of that VAX lot.
