If anyone can help this fellow out, please reply directly. Besides looking for a VAXStation or similar, he also has some MVII boards available. -=-=- <snip> -=-=- From: mrbill(a)texas.net (Bill Bradford) Newsgroups: comp.sys.dec Subject: WTB: Older VAXstation or entry-level Alpha Reply-To: mrbill(a)texas.net Message-Id: &lt;slrn6hn10n.78t.mrbill(a)staff2.texas.net&gt; X-Newsreader: slrn (0.9.4.3 UNIX) Lines: 29 Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 10:48:55 GMT NNTP-Posting-Host: 207.207.0.39 NNTP-Posting-Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 04:48:55 CST Path: blushng.jps.net!nntp.snfc21.pbi.net!news.pbi.net!howland.erols.net!feed2.news.erols.com!erols!nntp.giganews.com!news.giganews.com.POSTED!not-for-mail If you've got an old VAX system (VAXstation, etc) sitting around in your closet, I'm interested - I want to get a VMS box up and running here at home. Alternatively, I'm looking for an AXPpci33 motherboard and CPU to run AlphaLinux on. I was given a MicroVAX II about a year ago, but the system arrived in beat-up-and-unusable condition without drives. I ended up giving the chassis away, after stripping out all the cards, adapters, and various serial ports, etc. I still have all of that stuff in a box if anyone is interested. In fact, I'll give them free to anyone in the Austin or San Antonio area if you want to come pick them up. I can be reached at mrbill(a)texas.net.
