Here's what I have to offer:
- DEC OpenVMS V6(.3?) full, paperback, documentation set in
original Digital-branded carton, all in excellent shape;
- HP-branded LK463 keyboard with USB interface and PS/2-
converter, in excellent and practical new condition;
- DEC (and Digital-branded) LK46W-A2 with PS/2 interface,
very good shape (looks great), except one 'tilting leg'
is missing;
- DEC ball mouse with PS/2 interface, in the same beige
color as the LK46W-A2;
- various old and new 68-pin and 80-pin SCA/SCA2 interface
SCSI disks, both in 2?" and 3?" form factors (mostly
'short' ones, thus not the 'taller'/older types) in and
of various brands/models and capacities ranging from 1
to 300 Gbytes (contact me for more information);
- various old 50-pin SCSI disks (idem ditto, except the
capacities range from 1 to about 4? Gbytes and some are
'taller'), contact me for more information);
- DEC RRD43 external CD-ROM drive, amazingly with original
documentation(!) and SCSI-type converter and cables
(Digital-branded, too) available;
- HP DS2100 (Disk System 2100), UltraSCSI (either U160
or U320), for 4 * 3?" SCSI disks in HP "ring"-type sleds,
in excellent shape and with rack-mounting 'ears' included;
- loads of SCSI cables, practically all sorts and kinds;
- loads of SCSI terminators, both active and inactive,
mostly LVD/SE and quite a few still even in packaging;
- loads of HP disk brackets/sleds, including the HP "ring"-
type in both light/beige and dark gray/black that would
fit in rx1600/rx1620/rx2600/rx2620/rx4640, DS2100, etc.
and the like computer/storage systems, also many non-HP
sleds for more 'PC'-like systems, like IBM ("x"), Dell
and what-not (ask if you're interested);
- DEC Multia/UDB VX40B with 166-MHz processor and 256
Mbytes RAM, 72-Gbyte U320 2?" SCSI disk (that I
shoehorned in with necessary conversion), with HP
Tru64 UNIX V5.1B-4 pre-installed and lots of extras;
- DEC Multia/UDB VX42B with 233-MHz processor and an
unknown amount of RAM, without (working, or actually,
wired PSU connector) and in 'unknown' working state
and in otherwise fairly good physical condition;
- original DEC advertisement material, VAX and AXP/Alpha
era marketing material (brochures, whitepapers, "Digital
Systems and Option Catalog" booklets from several years
and more), I'll make pictures of them if there's interest
for it;
- several OSF/1 and Tru64 UNIX workbooks, or at least one
that I could immediately find;
- a bunch of DEC, Compaq and HP cables, plastics and other
types of parts;
- a bunch of OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX installation media,
originals;
- an original CD-ROM (in jewel case) installation medium
of the Sybase database software for OpenVMS AXP;
- loads of memories, including PC2100 ECC-registered DDR-
SDRAM (like for several HP Integrity systems, many even
original and HP-branded) and the "parity" type that
would fit/work in the Multia/UDB (the exact type escapes
me at the moment), also the type for DEC Personal
WorkStation-series and likely more (ask for more details,
I will then take a closer look);
- a good quantity of *OpenVMS-compatible* (in fact, also
HP-UX- and IRIX-compatible) _10-Gbit_ fiber-optical
(i.e. 10GBASE-SR) PCI-X ethernet NICs and also LC/LC
fiber-optical cables available;
- several (mostly Ultra320) SCSI HBAs, PCI or PCI-X;
- HP 8-port RJ-45/UTP KVM extender hub, I'll have to
check the exact type (but it should work with fairly
recent RJ-45/UTP KVM equipment);
- Quantum Ultrium LTO-1 SCSI tape drive, full-height,
in external enclosure and with various empty data
cartridges;
- several, mostly Sony (and possibly rebranded), DAT40/
DDS-4 SCSI tape drives and loads of empty DDS-2, DDS-3
and DDS-4 data cartridges, also cleaning tapes.
I may have forgotten to mention some things, I may add those
later on. (If you suspect I made a typo somewhere, feel of
course free to contact me about it.)
Anyway, I plan to recycle the majority of this in about a week
or two, if these items haven't been spoken for by that time.

That not, I don't have any hardware/physical VAX components.
You mean installation CDs? I sadly don't have those either, only
AXP (Alpha) and I64 (IA-64/Itanium).

Just as a reminder. Nothing else is spoken for since then,
except the aforementioned items.
I also have an HP LVD/SE SCSI<=>FC bridge here, which works
in two directions (so, from SCSI to FC and FC to SCSI), very
conveniently in a 1U package and fairly quiet. Would this
perhaps interest anyone? It's fully functional, I haven't
used it much, at all.
I also have a couple of DAT40/DDS-4 SCSI tape drives and
eight or so DEC/Compaq "StorageWorks"-type brackets (with
the sturdy metal ridges or 'rails', if you will, and most
of them are HP- or Compaq-branded).
There may be even more, as I dig further (I will update
this thread if I find anything else). I also found a
couple more VMS-related books, I will list the titles if
there's an interest for this.

What kind of VMS-related books? I'd be interested in some possibly.

- books
o "VAX FORTRAN Summary", by Digital Press (year unknown; didn't
bother to check, it looks old);
o "VMS Handbook", by Digital (not "Digital Press"), 1990 (looks
almost mysterious, as if it wasn't meant for retail, lots of
amazingly detailed information);
o "VAX Users Series | VAX/VMS - Writing Real Programs in DCL",
Digital Press, 1989 (*extremely rare*);
o "OpenVMS with Apache, OSU and WASD: The Nonstop Webserver",
by Digital Press, 2003.
- catalogs & brochures
o "Digital Systems and Options Catalog, October 1993";
o "Digital Systems and Options Catalog, February 1994"
(cover is gone, part of the first page is torn away,
for the rest fully intact and in good shape);
o "Digital Systems and Options Catalog Supplement, August
1994;
o "VAX 6000" brochure (didn't bother to look up the date);
o "VAX 8200" brochure (idem ditto);
o "VAX: The Computer Family for the 1980s" brochure
(ditto);
o "VAX-11/785 Product Bulletin" brochure (ditto);
o "Digital Systeem Groeiplanning: Upgrades" brochure
(not English, which goes without saying; Dutch).
I may have missed some, but these should be it for now.
Whatever I missed I will add later.

I don't reclal seeing anything about the geographic location of these.
Headers and domains seem to imply the Netherlands, but that is just a
guess.
I'm potentially interested in a few of the larger of the SCA drives,
possibly some of the SCSI cables and terminators, the fiber networking
hardware, and...
I also have an HP LVD/SE SCSI<=>FC bridge here,
which works in two
directions (so, from SCSI to FC and FC to SCSI),
...DEFINITELY interested in this. I've got a bunch of FC disks, and I
think an enclosure or two, but nothing to talk to them with.
But this all depends on what it would cost to get the stuff to me,
which depends mostly on where it is.

I did clear that up in a later post. Anyway, it's indeed the Netherlands.
It shouldn't be too ridiculously expensive, it's rather lightweight
actually (especially if I excluded the rack-mounting 'ears').

I have a dual-ported 2-Gbit FC PCI-X card here, also a dual-ported
4-Gbit one(but haven't tested it recently). Also a bunch of FC
cables, as I said.
Feel free to let me know what would interest you.

With regard to the FC<=>SCSI bridge.
The unit seems to weigh under 5 kg, so it should amount to
? 34.30 to the USA (optionally + ? 1.30 insured or ? 6.80
for parcel insurance).
