I'd have to say my VAX 6000-600. It has six processors, and therefore is
alternatively known as the VAX 6660 - the Devil's VAX. :-) I've not been
able to boot it because I don't have three-phase power to my house.
However, I've been informed that the H405 can be rewired to run correctly
off dryer power, which I do have. That's one of the (many) projects on my
post-dissertation list.
With six processors and a half-gigabyte of RAM, I've been told this is
probably the most built-out VAX 6600 remaining. -- Ian
