Just as a warning: a VAX 8600 is *heavy*. You will need a truck with a 
tailgate lift, and be at least two, if not three people to move it. You 
will not be able to lift it by hand, even if you are plenty of people. 
(And yes, I'd like to get the memory boards and other small bits of it, 
but I doubt anyone will pick it up to start with, and even less that 
anyone would part things out if they did indeed pick it up.)
