Very nice toys. I have a MV4k200 in a BA215. A very handy QBus VAX and
it is nice to work on the BA215. No finger breaking and flor crawling
like on the flor stand BA23.

I know from ragge, the NetBSD/VAX port-master, that there is a 8800 in
north Sweden runing. AFAIK it is the machine behind ftp.luth.se, as the
folowing picture implies:

Nuts are fun. ;-)

BTW a stupid question: What is a 8700? Is it SBI based like the
11/78[05] and 86[05]0, or is it XMI / VAXBI like the 85x0 or 6k VAXen?
I asume that a 8700 is a 8600 in a biger enclosure?
