Hi guys,
I'm sat here wondering what I should do with this empty BA23 I've got.
I'd like to get another machine up and running, either VAX or PDP, but I
don't have the bits :&)
If anyone in the UK has any spare bits kicking about, I'd be intrested,
if not, I might be able to arrange shipping from the US. If all else
fails, anyone think of an alternative use for a BA23? :&)
Otherwise it's just going to carry on what it's been doing so far - sat
on the side gathering dust :&/
On another note - anyone in the UK with a spare QBus ethernet card
(DELQA or such) they're willing to part with? I'd love to get my MVII on
the network here :&)

Anyone with a spare DELQA in the U.S. that they can part with, feel free
to let me know. I have one DEQNA (for multiple VAXen), but it's not loved
by modern VMS.

I see inexpensive DELQA boards on eBay from time to time.

Is it the blank rackmountable case, or do you have the plastic revetment
with foor stand? If yes put a pillow on it and you have a nice seat.
That was what I used my BA23 for at the LinuxTag 2000. I had a MV II in
it running 4.3BSD-Tahoe. Quite funny. Especially as it attracted other
geeks. (Including a bearded man with a RedHat... :-) )

Hi,
Nah - it's rackmount :&)
I met / chatted to a bearded man with a RedHat after Linux Expo 2000 in a
pub - it was Alan Cox :&)

Hmm. OK. we
need a new idea.

We speak about the same person. The funny part
is: Some friends and I
where running the BSD booth at the LinuxTag 2000 and that MV II was our
main seat. When Alan came along, one of us tried to sell him a FreeBSD
CDROM, but did not know to who he was trying to sell it. Alan declined
the offer with the argument, that he has already a machine running
FreeBSD to do comparisions between FreeBSD and Linux...
When I chatted with him he said that he had several MVen in 19" racks,
but he gave them away to avoid a dispute with his wife. Only a DECsystem
5400 (PMAX MIPS machine with QBus) remained.

Hi,
Ahh - I fear I will have to do the same for my gf, but I plan on
emigrating to canada to be with her anyway, so I won't be able to take
most of my kit. When that time comes, I'm sure classiccmp will be able to
find good homes, unless I have to resort to ePay to get some money for the
move :&/

If no, send the plastic enclosure with floor stand to me. :-) I need two
of them.
