My list of personal VAXen:
1 MicroVAX-II in BA-123 w/9MB & RD54 (154MB), TQK50 and TU80 (Dilog
controller), SRC COMBOARD-Q, DZV-11, uninstalled KDA50, running VMS 6.1
1 MicroVAX-II in BA-23 w/9MB & RD54, KDA50, DZV-11 and DEQNA, running VMS 5.5
1 MicroVAX-I in BA-23 w/4Mb & RD52, DZV-11 running MicroVMS 4.2
1 MicroVAX-I parts machine
1 VAX 8300 w/16Mb & RA81 (450Mb), 3rd party SDI-to-ESDI bridge w/two 1.2GB
ESDI disks, KDB50, unresponsive DEBNT (cable problems?) running VMS 5.5
1 MicroVAX 2000 w/10Mb? & RD54, DHT32 8-port expander, TK50Z-FA
1 MicroVAX 2000 untested w/external RD54 box
3 VAXstation 2000 untested w/mice, keyboards, mono monitors.
1 VAX-11/750 w/8Mb & RA81 w/DMF-32, Massbus interface (TU78 is 220V and was
not moved with CPU), SI9900 disk interface w/Fuji 160Mb+Eagle disks,
multiple Emulex 16-port serial cards, UDA-50, 56K DEC sync card for DDCMP,
RUX50 interface, TU80 interface, LP11 interface, s/n BT000354, running VMS
4.5
1 VAX-11/750 w/14Mb, multiple DZ-11, TS-11 controller, Massbus controller,
SI 9900 controller, Fuji Eagles and RM03s not moved with CPU due to
transportation problems.
1 VAX-11/730 w/5Mb & RB80 (121Mb), DMF-32, VMS 5.4
With all of that, only one MicroVAX-II, one MicroVAX 2000 and the VAX 8300
have been powered on in the past year. The Unibus VAXen are in deep storage.
On the way is a VAXstation 3100-90 w/64MB and 1.5GB disk, TLZ30 and TK50Z-GA,
but no ETA as of yet. :-(

Just curious how many, if any, people are planning on building the Simon
relay computer. It seems like a rather interesting project and I am starting
to collect the parts. It should be a neat project for the next VCF!

Marvin:
If you have any Sense of Adventure, you might consider using
electrical distribution substation switchgear for the logic. It
would take up a little more space (maybe two acres) and use more
power, but... think of the kewl noise it would make!
The control panel would be interesting, too.. if you continued the
genre of the 'active logic'.

I don't know if I'd build it but I'm curious to see the design though.

At Work:
(3) VAX 11/785's. One running a MD80 simulator, 2 are spares.
My modest home collection:
MicroVaxII, BA123. Trying to accumulate necessary parts for installation
of RA73s.
MicroVaxIII+, KA655 , BA213. Was a DECsystem5500 box, DSSI equipped; this
is my never-ending-project.
MicroVax3100/10
VAXstation 3100/m38
VAXstation 3100/m76
VAXstation 4000/VLC
VAXstation 4000/60
All are/will be VMS machines, though would like to get some flavor
of UNIX on one of these.
My VAX population will soon take a drastic decrease as I just don't
have the time to devote to hobby. With change of season, time-on-hobby
will decrease further as time-on-tractor increases.
Cheers,
Nick

Hmm... In mostly working condition (all de-installed while I finish
my basement, mostly stored in living room)
11/750 - TU80, 1 Eagle, 3 Avalon coprocessors (no docs), 14MB, BSD 4.3
when I get around to building a console tape to install it
uVAX II - STC GCR 9-track, TK50, TK70, 16MB, 3 fuji M2337 drives, RD53,
RD54, VMS 5.4?
uVAX III - STC GC 9-track (shared with above), TK50, 16MB, SCSI, Quantum
Fireball SE 2.1GB, Ultrix 3.1
uVAX 2000 - TK50, 2xRD54, 14MB, dead 4-plane
Untested:
1-VAXStation II in BA23 case (missing cabinet kit for QDSS board)
6-DECstation 3100 (unknown options)
6-VAXStation 3100 (unknown options)
2-VAXStation 3100/M38 (unknown options)
Spares:
At least two complete board sets for the 11/750, three uVAX II CPUs,
and a stack of paperwork I haven't inventoried yet...
The plan is to build 2 or 3 VS3100s with orthoganol hardware selections,
then unload the rest as tested/working systems...
I'm still looking for a uPDP 11/73 to fill out my collection.... Any
offers :)
