        This is an update to my earlier post regarding the availability of
VAXStation 4000 VLC's. It is being posted to both CLASSICCMP
and port-vax_at_netbsd.org.

        The interest in these beasties has been strong, and I had some
inquiries as to further details about the unit's innards and specs.
With that in mind, here's what I've gotten so far.

        They are indeed VLC's. Actual model number: VS48K-CA

        Quantity available: 20. Each unit includes an LK401 keyboard
and DEC three-button mouse (not the 'Hockey Puck' style... looks
more like a rebadged Logitech).

        (Also available: One ea. VAXStation 4000/90, condition (like
the others): Uknown, pulled from working setup).

        Installed memory: At least 24 MB. These units appear to use
standard 72-pin FPM Parity SIMMs.

        Video subsystem: Difficult for me to tell. The video board has a
bank of 16 each Toshiba part #TC524258BZ-10 memory chips
installed. I -think- this means there's 4MB of video memory...
someone check me on that, please? 1MB per bank of four chips?

        Anyway... more details on the video. The board has a 130.808
MHz oscillator, and sports the Bt RAMDAC and chip set. This
could be good, bad, or indifferent... I don't know enough about such
things to say. Chip numbers are Bt458LPJ135 for the RAMDAC,
and Bt438K for the other chip.

        There do not appear to be any hard drives in any of the units,
though I could be mistaken (I didn't examine them all). It does
appear that the hard drive mounting brackets were left in, so putting
a drive in the thing would not be a huge hassle.

        Price: $50.00 or best offer per unit plus shipping. Local pickup
also available.

        Contact: Mark Dabek, RE-PC, Tukwila, WA. Phone is 206-575-
8737. Hours are Monday-Saturday, 10:00 - 19:00 Pacific time.

        Please tell him I referred you if you go and buy one or more. He
likes to know where his business comes from.
