Due to impending job change/move I need to slim down my collection
there will be quite a few machines. Some of the bigger stuff I need to
put on ebay as I really need the money.
I will be putting a 4000/500 with 9 dssi drives and a 4000/700 with 12
dssi drives on ebay towards the end of the month.
I have gone through some machines there will be more :
Vaxstation 3100/30 12mb unknown drive
Vaxstation 3100/76 2xRZ74 16mb Floppy
Vaxstation 3100/30 2gb drive 8mb Floppy
Vaxstation 3100/40 3x100mb drive 32mb ram missing front flap
Microvax 3100 16mb 2xRz25 3.2gb
Vaxstation 3100/76 floppy 16mb 500mb drive
Vax storage expansion box no drives but possible with the cable if I
can find it.
These are all free to pick up from Soho London.

Wow!
I would be most interested in one, but it's over a decade since I last
even /saw/ a VAXstation. I've no idea how to choose the most powerful
out of that lot!
Do they have monitors? If not, what kind do they require?

The most powerful in the lot is the 3100/76.
the 40 box is bigger than the 30 box. The speed is the same for the two.

Thanks VM for that!
I should be able to attach a standard SCSI hard disk into one, I
think, yes? But preferably <1GB? I have a few of those around.
Do you know about the monitor? Would it drive a mono 21" Sun-type
screen with a YB13 or is it going to only have some kind of fixed-sync
video output?

Hi Dan,
thanks for the 300/76 - I have loaded VMS 7.3 on it, and it seems to work OK
(it may be even bettter when I figure out why I can't register the license
...).
If they are still available, could I trouble you for the other /76, the
BA42 expansion box and the /40?
Thanks again
Jim.

Hi Dan,

Thanks!

I solved the license problem. I couldn't get the license data to load using
the VMS license utility (using copy/paste intomy terminal window), either on
SimH with VMS 6.2, or on the Vaxstation with VMS 7.3, both gave checksum
errors. However, as a last resort, I copied all the information into a
single line using LICENSE REGISTER with multiple switches, and it worked
perfectly. I could then got into the license utility and enable the license.
I have no idea why it won't work in the utility, but I got around it in the
end.
Regards
Jim.

Hi Dan,
In the utility you have to enter the date twice for start date and
expiration. For some reason it ignores it on the command line.
