As you all have read, I picked up a VAX 8600 a while back and am quite fond of it. However, I thought that it might be prudent to see if any kind of trade might be struck with a list member. While that VAX is a very cool (and BIG) machine, there is nevertheless some hardware that I'd rather have in its place. Basically, I want to trade it for a PDP-11/45, /50, /55, or /70. I would prefer a complete, working system, but would not rule out a partial one or a fixer-upper. If you're interested in making a trade with me, please e-mail me directly. I *know* some of you out there have one or even several of the machines I desire, so speak up! :-) -- Jeffrey S. Sharp jss(a)ou.edu
