Equipment Available

[Jay West]

FYI - I forgot to post; this deal has been claimed; it was passed on to the
first person that replied off-list. Hopefully that person can consummate the
deal and will post back to the list to let us know the real scoop on what
the guy has.

Best,

J

I don't think anybody who had worked for DEC would confuse an 11/23 with a
microvax.
The reference to RX01's also seems a little odd.
Testing silicon could be a reference to IC's  or the large crystals drawn
from the melt.

As to being used in house in the UK. Both plants (Ayr and Galway) were F,A
and T plants Boards and enclosures came in already built and tested.
They would plug the systems together to suit the customers configureation.
If a board failed it would be sent to Hoofdorf in Holland where they had a
board level repair facility.
This was mainly for field service swop outs but they did handle F,A and T
failures.
