[HECnet] DEC 4000/500 from years ago

Hi, Around 2007 I gave away my pair of 4000/500A systems, I believe to Brian Hechinger. They were taking up way too much space in the dining room, and that I just wasn't that interested in putting the time and money into sustaining the pair. I also really wanted SCSI storage, but Q-BUS SCSI controllers were way out of my financial reach at the time. Since then, circumstances have changed, and with renewed interest, I acquired a BA23 Q-BUS MicroVAX, and eventually a Q-BUS SCSI controller, but nothing that came close to those 4000/500As. Some years later, I believe Brian moved, and offered these up again on one of these lists, or maybe CCTALK, but I missed that posting until too late, and lost track of who ended up with those. If these are in use, I wish whoever has them the best, and am extremely glad at least they did not end up scrapped; I did my part towards that. However, if whoever has them is no longer using them, I am here and interested in whether one or both might be available. I hope this is an appropriate posting, and it is not misunderstood by those involved. Mark -- Mark G. Thomas <Mark at Misty.com>, KC3DRE
