   A local computer surplus place, even though it knows a bit more than
most, has boxes and boxes of VME boards which it's selling for $10 each. Mostly
SCSI controllers, Network Coprocessors, and Prestoserve boards. I rummage
through them occasionally. Didn't find anything much that I could use until last
time through, when I found a 4/6xx bare system board, the matching RAM
board with a bank full of 1M SIMMs, and a pair of 3/4xx CPUs. For $10 each.
Yow!
