Hi,

	I have just seen several MicroVax IIs being sold off by a surplus
company called 'Greenweld'. I was wondering if it was worth my while
puchaseing one. They are in a BA23 case with 9Mb of RAM, a 5.25" disk
drive, DEQNA card. However there does not seem to be any graphics/serial
card. They are said to come from a working installation, so it is likely
not to have any problems. The price is 52 pounds sterling including
postage (about $30). Is this good value, and how easy is it to get the
machine running NetBSD ?
	
Thanks
