DEC boards at recycler

[Kirk Davis]

The M8190 is likely to be of interest to someone since it’s likely to be a 11/84.

Personally I’m interested in one or both of the M8061’s which are Qbus RL02 controllers and would cough up some bucks to buy off the recycler.

They're scheduled for preprocessing this evening (e.g. ceramic ICs pulled and diverted into different pile due to higher gold content), but I may be able to get them a stay of execution (as of now I've got about 2 hours in which to let him know before I'm awol for a family event).

Also several Emulex boards which didn't contain anything that was obviously a part number (from memory a couple that were "full width" and three that were "half width") - I'm guessing they're probably tape controllers, but they might be hard disk.
