Those of you in or near Milwaukee may want to take note of this... ;-)

>To anyone interested, my school is looking to make the old VAX cluster
>disappear. It consists of two MV3600's, several racks of RA81/82's, one
>MVII, and a TU-something-or-other. I haven't had time to go down and look
>at the innards of any of the machines, but I will if anyone expresses an
>interest in them. The whole shebang was operational the day they took it
>to the basement, so I assume it still is.
>
>We also have two or three VS3100's, but I'm really not sure what shape
>they're in.
>
>We are located in downtown Milwaukee, WI. The machines would be free for
>the taking, or if anyone wants to pay the shipping, we could work
>something out. I'd really like to see it all go toward the NetBSD cause,
>otherwise they'll be scrapped for the gold :(
>
>Please get back to me as soon as possible. I'm guessing we have until the
>end of the week, at which time the scrap metal man comes. I've had
>phantasies about bringing the stuff home, but "home" is actually a dorm
>room. Dunno if plugging the 3600's in will actually cause a brownout or
>not. Housing wouldn't be pleased, I'm guessing.
