As a testament to Digitial engineering, I have a VAX 3900 that's been
sitting in my garage for 3 1/2 years that just booted up!

CONDITIONS:

Machine must be picked up in its entirety - ALL OR NOTHING
Local pickup only - I don't want to ship this beast

LOCATION:

Laurel, MD 20724

You will need a large sedan, pickup, or similar vehicle.  The external
frame has been modified to come apart, so loading it will be easy.

PARTICULARS:

VAX 3900 - CPU - (Big cabinet)  KA655-AA (M7625-AA)
32 MB RAM - MEMORY - MS650-BA (M7622-A)
DESQA-SA - Ethernet - (M3127-PA)
CXY08-M - 8 line Terminal controller - (M3119-YA)
USD 1108 QBUS->SCSI Controller - in passthrough mode
        * This is a NON-DISCONNECTING controller - yes, I have the manual!
TQK70 - tape controller - (M7559-00)
        * DRIVE IS _BROKEN_
KDA50 - disk controller - (M7164-00 & M7165-00)
CMD 200 TM QBUS->SCSI Controller
        * Yes, I have the manual
RA90 Drive (1.2GB) - Big and slow, but after 3 1/2 years idle time,
still works
TK70 - tape drive - BROKEN

NOTES:

The CMD 200 TM recognized a newer SCSI CD-ROM and booted VMS 7.1 install
kit. 

Machine currently boots VMS 5.5-2.

CXY08 and DESQA have NOT been tested, but were working.
