Saw this in comp.os.vms
I'd take it myself, but I'd have to mortgage the Town Hall to pay the
freight.
Anyone want a VERY well equipped, complete, older Vax, with loads of parts
and docs etc?

That's a typo I think, they are 622Mb each. And 64KG!
> A giant 200amp power conditioner that looks just like the VAX
> A TU81-Plus Tape drive
> Two DMB32-M things. I think that they are multiplexors
> Anyone know about them?
> Two LA120 printers. One DA model, and one AA model.
