Hi all,

I'm more of a lurker than a poster. I enjoy lurking, though. :-)

I have the opportunity to snarf a DEC 5500 for free. This is a
refrigerator-sized Q-bus machine that runs an old version of
Ultrix (which is 4.2 BSD based).

There are several cages of disks in the package. Supposedly,
around 2 GB total storage. And, a few DECprinters (9-pin dot matrix).

And, I'm told that it boots.

Has anyone had any sort of experience with one of these?

Nick
