Hi,

I have a vaxstation II that I need to be rid of really soon.  If I don't
hear from anyone by Noon July 31st, I am going to throw it out.  It
doesn't need to be gone by then; I just need someone to express interest
in it.  I am not on either of the lists this email is going to.  I am
sending to these lists after receiving the following email:

>Hi.  If you're up for dealing with lists, port-vax@netbsd.org and 
>rescue@sunhelp.org have people who like to rescue old VAXes.

What I know about it:

Big, roughly 24" tall x 16" wide x 30" deep.  I was using it as a night
stand.  I was told it worked last time it was tried.  Has 2 or three
pull-out hard disks, 1 pull out tape? drive.  Has some cards in it, I
was told they are probably Q-BUS.  The numbers on the handles / edge of
the boards says:

M7606
M7608
(no number, but sticker on case says it is 9047)
M7504
M7546
(no number, but sticker on case says it is 602.  Two chips on the board
    have "AVIV" stickers)
M7555

It is now in Newton Massachusetts.  Preference to someone who will pick
it up.  I will ship pieces if someone pays for postage and something for
my time.  Again, get to me by noon July 31st.
