Hi Gang:
I learned recently of a number of pdp-11s and Vaxen going surplus in the
Vancouver area.
Looks like various LSI 11s, spare parts, boards, docs. Peripherals include
9 track and (likely) DAT tape, RD53 and RD54 drives, some SMD drives. Vaxes
are of the Microvax III type. Full set of VMS docs, version 4.x. Also an
optical disk drive, unknown make/model, WORM type, about 18" platters. A
total of about 4-5 systems.
More info will be posted as I get it.

Any chance of me getting in on the VMS docs and an RD54 or two?
I need info for my MVaxII and another drive for it would be nice. =-)
Let me know.

Greetings All,
As I've been unable to find one locally, does anyone on the list
have a VAX/VMS Orange Documentation "Wall" in Iowa, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Illinois or Missouri that they'd like to be rid of?
I'd be happy to drive and get it.
Thanks...

I'm curious as to why you are looking for the Orange Wall specifically.
Personally I prefer a combination of the Grey System Manager's Manual, and
"Mastering VMS". For basic tasks I find them easier to deal with than the
7.2 Hardcopy docmentation.

I want to do assembly programming and other things on my MVaxII that
are generally not covered in the Manager's manual etc. It just seems
that every now and then someone has an orange wall that needs a home.
