Hey big and little iron fans: Found this in the ng comp.os.vms under title
"Anyone interested in tons of various PDP-11/780 and 785 boards". Looks
like the scrapper mentioned has some interesting stuff in addition to DEC
which he may sell just for scrap price if the price is right. A few of you
are from down in VA area I believe. Comments? Was posted to several other
ng's too.
