What on earth is a uVAX 1000? I've never heard of that before. I'm
rather curious to know!

In all honesty, the whole lot is really worth less than $100, unless
the MicroVAX 3600 has some really nifty equipment (like a SCSI card)
in it, or that uVAX 1000 is something special, as I really don't know
what that is.
I'm a little vague on what a RA90 is, but I know the RA81s are huge
drives, and they should probably consider themselves lucky if you're
willing to haul them away!

VT510s are rather new terminals; they're not actually DEC designed.
These are "technically" probably worth a little bit on the terminal
market, since they're not more than a few years old (probably). On
the used market, however, how much is a relatively standard terminal
worth?
