I got it through someone from this list- it was the subject of the big
VAX vs. 486 flamewar last year. It was at a hospital office. It was shut
off late last year and officially retired in January. Unfortunately, the
disks are still in use on its replacement, so all I picked up was the CPU
(one cabinet, refrigerator-sized). I've been going over it examining it
to see what makes it tick and learning about it (DEC stuff is for whatever
reason sort-of rare around here; I'm not sure if it's all still in service
or if it was unpopular in the first place.) Eventually I'll find disks
for it- I'm a firm believer in the magnet principle. :-)
