Well a while back on ebay there was a 'vs3200' which in the description had
'some emulex board' and a CDC hard drive. Since the CDC hard drive number
turned out to be a SCSI drive I bought it for $76. It took forever to get
and thought for a moment the seller was going to flake out on me but it
finally arrived and sure enough it had an Emulex UC07 scsi interface in it.
(slightly warped but apparently functional) This was great because I had
also picked up a MV3600 (H9644 rack) where the RA82 drive had been replaced
by a rack tray with 4 SCSI drives and a 8MM DAT drive. When I got it home
and open it was only missing one card :-( So between the two of them I
should have a H9644 VAX to add to the collection
