I've got a couple of MicroVAX IIs I'd like to trade for a SPARC. Here
are the specs:
System 1: (HEAVY)
MicroVAX II (KA630)
16M RAM
DELQA Ethernet w/AUI port (will throw in 10BT transceiver)
RA82 Hard disk (623MB)
TK70 Tape Drive (296MB)
8-line serial card
630QE Enclosure (19"x4' rack)
NetBSD 1.4
System 2: (INCA)
MicroVAX II (KA630)
6M RAM
DELQA Ethernet w/AUI port (will throw in 10BT transceiver)
bad RD53 hard disk (I have an unformatted spare I'll throw in)
RQDX2 disk controller, I think
Dual 5 1/4" floppy drive (disk 0's door is missing)
8-line serial card
BA23 Enclosure (floor stand)
No Operating System
Both of the systems will boot, I ran them as an VMS 5.5-2 cluster a while
back. INCA has a bad hard disk, though I have an unformatted one I can throw
in [It will need to be formatted by a Vaxstation 2000]. HEAVY (while a bit
big and slow) is a nice machine.
I cannot ship these, you'll have to pick them up (hell, the RA82 alone weighs
61 kg/134 lbs) from Bloomington, IN. You'll also have to build a console
cable, the MVII console serial cables aren't wired like the standard 9 pin
serial (see: http://www.openvms.digital.com/wizard/openvms_faq.html#MISC1).
I'd like a sparc to play with. An older SS2, IPC, IPX, etc w/32M+ RAM + 400M+
disk. Graphics console not required, as I have terminals.
These are great machines and I hate to part with them, but after getting a
much faster (and smaller) VAX, I don't use them anymore.
