Well, after wading thru miles of corporate red tape, and jumping several
Dilbertian hurdles, we managed to rescue two 11/44s and two 11/23s from a
Big Company in San Diego.
Marvin Johnston drove from Santa Barbara (and back!) to get the
machines, which are all in one 7' DEC rack. There is also an RL02, 1 (or
2?) SCSI drives attached to one of the /44s, about 20 RL02 packs, and a
Blue Wall. It appears the machines are running RSX.
I'll know more about them next week when I get them back up here to
Quincy in the northern Sierras.
Thanks go to Sellam who first alerted me to the deal *last year*, and of
course to Marvin who drove over 400 miles on very short notice...
More legacy machinery saved from the dumpster... if things work out I
am strongly considering exhibiting at least one of the /44s at VCF 5 -
along with a PR1ME 750 if we can get it's swap disk crankiness sorted out.
Cheers
John
