  We have a Vax 6000 series, I don't have it near me so I don't know the
exact model right now, I think it was a 480, or something akin.
It has some kind of upgrade, since the badge on the back says upgraded to.
65BUA-AF Which is a 400/500 upgrade for the 6000 Vaxen.
Right now all I have that wasn't bought is the CPU rackunit, and all of
the cards, in the original state that they same in on.  I also have a Dec
Array 650 that came in with it, though Ibelieve one drive may be missing.
They are very heavy, and I am sure more costly to ship than the item is
worth.
 I am in Iowa City, Iowa.  I'd like to find this thing a great home.  I
am also aware that the NetBSD vax port went Multi-CPU, and well, supports
many of the 6000 series now.  So I will give any help to anyone that wants
data on it, or perhaps even eventually send the non-heavy cards to people
that may be developing or have a good use for them.
