The latest addition includes three DECstation 5000/2xx's, one each of
/200, /240, & /260. Also included was two expansion boxes with two
RZ58's, a TZK12 1/4 tape drive, & a RRD42 CDROM drive. Also got a
TK50Z-GA, and a couple 90TL DECservers.

One machine is loaded memory wise, 288 mb. Another has a couple
extra Turbochannel cards. The first is the TCE Option Module.
The second is an AV01B. It has 60 pin mini-D and two 4 pin RJ
connectors. Some digging revealed it is an "DECaudio card
and distribution box (LOFI)". Anybody know anything beyond that?

Also got a DEC PC. It is a Venturis, 486/66. It came with a mono
VGA monitor. Looking over the mainboard, I found where the pins
would go if it had a color option, and there is a place to surface
mount what I assume is the additional memory for the color option.

Also got two boxes of manuals, and a box of original DEC software
tapes. The tapes include two versions of Ultrix and the tape for
the 90TL.

The box of keyboards contained 9 DEC keyboards, mostly LK201.
If this keeps up, I going to have to buy one of those small
storage sheds just to store the extra keyboards that seem to
keep wandering in.

No doubt about it, I got a case of 'mental DECay', and I got it bad.
