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. Yow. Go check. I'll show up with a truck. (assuming you're in the USA) 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?!?). Fire hazard?? And I assume you mean 11/83. But that's a very small, relatively low-power-consumption machine. Go grab it! If it's low-power like a VS4000/60 grab me one too! You said you found several! ;) It's not quite THAT low power, but it's close. Probably less than 3x...i.e., nothing to worry about. Mine pulls something like 275W. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
