All,
Just to let you know I followed up to Lyle's message, and
went to see those guys (with Lyle) to see what is there.
I am going in there tomorrow morning, and will save the
systems from the oven. Basically, we have:
- MicroVAX 3600 with RA82 (my new baby ;-)
- extra rack filled with 6 pcs RA92
- Cipher magtape unit, frontloader (not in rack)
- two VAX 4000(-500A) systems
- a stack of BA42 storage expanders with various drives
- a stack of MicroVAX 3100 -M38 and -M76 systems
- two what seem to be DECsystem 5500 systems
- one more VAX 3600
.. and some little things. If you have an interest in any
of this (cept the 3600- tis mine!) please contact me off-list
so we can work something out.
Warning: RA92 dont ship well. This means that it will probably
be pickup only, sorry.

Hi,
are the Vax4000 still available? I'd love to have one, but I assume
shipping cost would be very much. Do there any drives or controllers
with them? I don't know much about the DecSystems - do you have any
details? I hope we can arrange something.
Best Regards,
Wolfgang Eichberger

I'm guessing that they're MIPS based systems like the DECsystem 5000 and
3100. From the "Installation Guide" that comes up as 3rd or 4th in a
google search (and which I have a mirrored copy on my web site:
http://computer-refuge.org/classiccmp/dec94mds/331aain1.pdf ), they
look to be the size of a VAX 4000/200(-/700) and use s-box QBUS
interface cards.

The 5400 and 5500 were both QBUS based MIPS systems which ran Ultrix.
They had a VAX coprocessor for console and field service diagnostics.
The 5400 has DSSI or SDI storage by default. The 5500 was faster and has
(I believe, by default) SCSI storage.
They use standard QBUS components and memory boards for similar VAX
machines. Nice if you don't mind Ultrix. I don't believe there is a
functioning NetBSD for either.
