Hi
My employer is moving house and need to clear out some old stuff. We
have ported to many, many Unix systems over the years and have kept some
of the machines.
Available is:
1x IBM RS/6000 big and beige
1x Bull DPX/2
1x Concurrent Computer Corporation in rack
1x Sperry unix machine
1x NCR (same as above, other label)
Possibly 1 VAX 4000 and possibly one Alphaserver 2000.
Pickup only. We will remove hard drives since they contain source code.
In a few weeks, this will be gone.
A few pictures here:

Items are in Uppsala, Sweden.

What kind of VAX 4000? Not that I am likely to make the trip, unfortunately
:-(

A 4000/300, the first 4000 QBus machine I believe. And the only one that
doesn't have a separate memory bus.
(I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong though :)

Not that it really matters, but the M7626 / KA660 / 4000-200 was the
only modular VAX 4000 series CPU that plugged directly into a regular
Q22/CD QBus slot, for example in a BA215 or BA430 chassis.
All of the other modular VAX 4000 series CPUs plugged into a dedicated
CPU slot in a BA440 (or BA441 rack mount version) chassis.
L4000-BA / KA670 / 4000-300
L4002-CA / KA675 / 4000-400
L4002-BA / KA680 / 4000-500
L4005-BA / KA681 / 4000-500A
L4002-AA / KA690 / 4000-600
L4005-AA / KA691 / 4000-600A
L4006-AA / KA692 / 4000-700A

I really like my 4000/300 - and it warms the room quite nicely.

You are right, the chassis reads 4000-200. I just got the number wrong.
