  And I do mean "haul".
  I found the stash at work today, and dragged it home.

  I had already copped the DEC 3000/300x Friday, and my boss told me he
thought there was some more of that stuff around somewhere. So I
snarked it.

  3 DEC 3000/300x
        2 untested as yet, w 2xRZ26E each and looks like 64M RAM
                also MAGMA 2+1 TC (serial/parallel adapter?)
        1 w/2xRZ26E and 80M RAM. no MAGMA
                booting OSF/1 v3.2, Oracle
        1 Mouse/KBD breakout w/mouse.

  1 DEC SZ12 expansion unit with an RZ58 and a Seagate ST32430N

  1 DEC MicroVAX 3100-90 w/serious problems - system board looks like it
        was wet & powered up. :o(
        Boots to console, but gets errors at several checkpoints and
        ends up with "normal operation not possible". Haven't done much
        trouble-shooting.
        Looks like 128M RAM
*** RRD42 - with "OpenVMS v6.2 Binaries 1 of 1" in caddy!
        2xRZ26-E 1G
        RZ26L-E 1G

  3 DEC MicroVAX 3100-80
        1)
        72M
        RZ25-E 425M
        No OS

        2)
        40M
        TLZ06 4mm DAT
        2xRZ25-E _at_425M
        OpenVMS 6.2

        3)
        40M
        TLZ06 4mm DAT
        3xDSP3107 _at_1G
        OpenVMS 6.2
        RZ26-E
        OpenVMS 6.0

  1 VSXXX-AA Mouse untested

  1 VSXXX-AB Graphics Tablet & Puck. untested, and haven't found the
        Stylus yet.


  Do the RZ26-E drives always sound like a gravel-crusher, or are all
these toast?

  All this cool stuff, and the other day I was heavily lusting after an
MV3100-30 on eBay, and right now I'm just p*ssed because the '90 is
broken. Spoiled, huh?
