Got this on another list. You could run ULTRIX on it. I could supply a CD
image if necessary.

You could run NetBSD just as easily as ULTRIX on it.
Oh, how silly of me. I assumed it was one of the QBUS systems.

I've got a DECSystem 5900 that's needing a home. It's got 2 of the
32MB memory modules. It's the slower chip, but I can't recall the MHz.
I got it at an auction when buying a rack and was surprised to find it
in there.
It *seemed* to power up OK (20 amp 120VAC power suppy included).
I was going to load BSD on it, but I can't see how I'm going to get to
it in this lifetime. It looks like it's got a couple of WREN drives
in it, but I can't be sure.
Let me know if anyone's interested. It'd be a crime to see a machine
this heavy go to waste.
