I have a lead on a forgotten DEC Industrial Vax 630. I don't know what
in it or anything yet. It's just the (about) 30" x 19" x 10" rackmount
unit.
Apparently, about 10 -12 years ago, DEC had a contract with a
Southern CT company, that makes industrial keyboards and mice. DEC
shipped them the Vax, to test the devices, all of them. They never asked
for the machine back. The moniter that went with it has since died. That
may still be around, but I don't know. As far as they know, the Vax
still works. Well, at least last time the powered it up.
I'm waiting to see what the company wants to do with it, but if
I tell them someone wants to buy it, that may help. It's a heavy little
beast, so shipping may be a bit much. They'll probably prefer that you
pick it up, but I'm sure something can be worked out if necessary.
