I asked about the mass of the thing, just to dream about shipping it. 6 boxes, 250 kg's or so apiece (over a ton). It's a fairly large system, eh?

How large is all this equipment, in square and cubic feet? What sort
of power does it take? Anything particularly interesting or novel
about this system? MicroVAX III circa 1987, KA650 processor, QBUS,
~32 meg RAM, RA-82s are ~600 meg, VMS 5.x? Roughly 2.8 VUP?
Main unit, rack-mount half-height? Maybe a TU-81+, half-height rack tape?
