drove out to the country the other day and picked up this load of dec stuff. some of you dec hotshots can tell me if it was worth the trip. lol i already have a microvax II, but in a tower unit form factor, almost like a pc. (ba123 i think) the 3 i got are shaped different. two of them are big, probably over 200lbs each easy. the first one has a sticker on it showing model 63006. its a big unit, with a hood that opens up top and a big tape drive <?> that slides forward. the machine says TS05 on the front. one model came with two hard drives. the other unit 'named pugsly' is the same, except it has a small tape drive and the backplane has cables going everywhere and the side panels are off. thankfully they have wheels. the 3rd uvax is a much smaller unit but wider than the one i have here in the computer room. it has a dual vertical floppy drive and two hard drives. i also got two vt220 terminals about 40 orange binders about vax/vms. programmer's guide, reference, and who know what else! a letterwriter 100 external drive RD54 a tape drive (tk50?) a rat's nest of cables to hook everything up. some blank dec 5.25 disks about 20 compactapes. half are backups. last bu was nov94. also got these system tapes: microvms 4.6 full bin vax fortran 4.5 bin decnet mvms v4 net bnd/n tsv05 driver bin microvms v4.7 bin vhs lic key bin microvms 4.6 bin mand update mvII diag cust rel:1.2.1 install microvax II (handwritten) heh, if anyone can explain all this, that would be most welcome. it was hard work having to unload those off a truck by myself. i might keep the smaller of the 3 i got, but the two big monstors, i'm unsure of. the people i got these david
