The 6610 has been outplaced and moved, and,
to a person who is decidedly a non-scrapper.
To all those that responded, Thanks.

The VAX 6000-610 is in a good home, in the same air conditioned room as a VAXvector
6000-410 and a VAX 8530, and the hull of a VAX 11/780.
I know we have DSSI disks around here...somewhere. It's going to be fun, as all of the
other machines use SDI.
Within a few weeks, the 6000-610 should be up as FooVAX.eclub.rpi.edu.

Congrats on your rescue!
My KL-10 is now sitting silently in my storage area waiting for me to
start work on it. I've started putting stuff on my web site about it --
take a look!
What I really *need* to find are a complete set of maintanence prints.
There are none to be found (so far). :-(

Any decent complaints against modern Celeron processors?
I'm considering getting a desktop with one in it and want
to know if there's missing instructions, Linux problems,
or that sort of thing.
Reply off list may be appropriate with OT's.

At least the KL-10 at one point had maintanence prints. I've had no luck at all in
finding info on the VAX 6000 series. Admittedly, the thing *is* microprocessor based, but
there is a lot of support hardware surrounding the chips. Little of it is documented.
And now that you have a PDP-10, and I have multiple VAXen, I suppose I should note thus:
V4X3n 0wn3rz teh P|)P-10.

I don't know if VAX 6000 prints ever made it out of the group
that built it - prints were supplied when you were expected to
swap a chip to fix a fault.
You can poke around on http://vt100.net/manx to find the various
VAX 6000 manuals that have made it out into the wild: no printsets
but plenty of maintenance manuals and info about the various
VAXBI and XMI boards.
