Wondering if anyone has posted the VAXBar to this list yet?

There are people on this list who want to obtain, use and preserve such equipment as those VAXen; we don't need idiots buying the remaining few, tearing their insides out and then using them as furniture -- that's even worse than sending the equipment off to a museum to rot away and never be used again. -- Copyright (C) 2001 R.

Nice collection! What I'd really like to see is power available for you to have all 400 (or at least all that are working) powered up and running at the same time; that would be neat! Yes, I need to follow my own advice. ;-) -- Copyright (C) 2001 R. D.

I used to have one (got it right when DEC interdicted VMS license transfers for one month to attempt to force buyers of used hardware to purchase new licenses... failed miserably). It was on loan to a friend's company that was bought out and moved without notifing me that they were taking my VAX out of state. :-( I even had the floating point accelerator in it. At the time, it was my best number cruncher (14 years ago). -ethan ===== Even though my old e-mail address is no longer going to vanish, please note my new public address: erd(a)iname.com The original webpage address is still going away.

I had a temporary sheling unit made of 1x12's and PS/2 model 55sx units, much like the cinder block shelves that we've all had when we were just starting out in our own apartments. Mine was to accomodate books and unit storage int he same space while working on getting a buyer for the machines. Now the machines are gone and the books are in a shelving unit made of cinder block and he 1x12's...go figure. => -----Original Message----- => From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Bob Brown => Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 8:41 AM => To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org => Subject: Re: Lovely period furniture: VAX 4000-500 => => => My TV sits on an old IBM 3274 control unit. => => Makes a wonderful TV stand! => => -Bob => => => >Don't rule out the VAX 11/725.
