Nah. close... Louisville.
Unfortunately (or, fortunately if you are my wife) it's not "my" gear unless
I get authorization (gate pass). I have a few smaller vaxes and pdp. If I get a chance I
may take a walk around and see if anything small is sitting around. I'm not sure AnY
DEC hardware will ship for less than a small fortune.

Yeah I may. I don't really have much o a place for it. A year or two ago I was walking
around through old datacenters on site and found much of a buried 11/780. I wiped off the
broken flourscent bulbs that were laying on top of it, petted it in a joking amber (well,
mostly jokingly) and left the room. Not sure if it was scrapped or is still there.
Anyhow I did cart off a micro pdp 11/87 (?!?) that looked like it had never been powered
on (racked with about 20 others). Got a gate pass for it but never brought it home hoping
id soon be able to find a pdp / Vax implementation on FPGA soon and forgo the storage and
power (fire hazard?!?).
I'm assuming you're not in Ohio else i'd be interested in some of your old
gear. ;)

We just turned off our last VAX this month. Was replaced with none other
than a Linux VM.
(We still have a few left, but none left at my plant).

Fantastic. I remember reading that a long long time ago, just when we
were phasing the VMS machines and terminals out in favour of Ultrix
DECstations and VAXstations.
