Hi, folks,

        The local (Seattle) used computer place I work with on
occasion has turned up a whole stack of DEC VAXStation 4000's
(desktop/'pizza box' configuration). I think these are the VLC model.

        Very little is known about them, though I also saw a whole pile
of in-the-box LK401 keyboards with them. I'm pretty sure the owner
of the place would let 'em go pretty cheap, especially since they're
mainly a PC store.

        If there's any interest in these, let me know and I'll go over one
or more in detail.

        Now, on the MultiBus front: The Seattle store has turned up a
MultiBus computer that's full of boards, and at least one tape drive.
It's in a rack chassis, pretty light for its size, and has a whole slew
of serial ports (9-pinners) on the backside. It also has an SMD disk
controller, and what appears to be a SCSI adapter (at least it's tied
to a SCSI/QIC-xx bridge board to run the cartridge tape drive).

        Again, if there's any interest, let me know (and please include
any offers -- don't be shy!) and I'll see what I can do to rescue the
beastie.

        Thanks much.
