As I "modernize" things here, I discover that I have some surplus
equipment. The following is available immediately, for free, from
my basement in Bethesda MD (just barely inside the Washington DC beltway).
Pickup only, fist-come-first-served:
Vaxstation 3100-30, maybe 16 Megs of memory, internal RZ23 scsi disk.
Comes with VR319 19" monochrome monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Vaxstation 3100-38, 24 Megs of memory, no internal SCSI disk.
Comes with VR260 15" color monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
The systems have been running continuously here for a couple years,
and were at TRIUMF before that, and are in functional (though maybe
a little dinged up) condition. Both have internal floppy drives,
but I never use them, so I don't know if they work. No CD-ROM
drive either, but if you bring along a 500 Meg to 1 Gig SCSI drive
and buy me lunch I'll install the hobbyist OpenVMS 7.2 distribution
on it for you from my CD-ROM.
Also available: several DEC Rainbows, Professionals, and matching
color and black-and-white monitors. Most of this stuff is in
pretty ratty condition, but I believe someone could piece together
at least a couple of working systems. Also comes with boxes and boxes
and boxes of Rainbow documentation and software on RX50's.
Drop me an E-mail (shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com) or give me a call
(301-767-5917) if you're interested. Again, pickup only, I can't
ship. And if you show up here and I'm in a good mood, I might try
to make you take some other stuff from the basement :-).
