Greetings

I will likely have the above system coming available by the end of the
year. I would like to determine if there are any interested parties on
this list. The adoptive person would need to be available to pick it up
in Appleton, WI (near Green Bay) on relatively short notice: within a week
or two of its coming available.

What will be available is basically the box as described below from the
console printout. As you see it is fully equipped with 512MB of RAM. The
star coupler and various CI widgets are not available other than the
machine's own CIBCA. Also, it does not have any directly attached DSSI or
SDI disks. The built in TK70 tape drive for console media has been
removed although I am pretty sure I still have a TK50 tape with console
media on it.

It runs and currently boots VMS5.5-2 from the CI.

Let me know if you have room for this beast.
