Yep, one Amazon server could probably simulate all the DECnet machines that ever

to HECnet however. I do occasionally, at least for now.
My PDXVAX system is still running on the real Hardware. It’s a VAXstation 4000/60 with a
BA350 SCSI shelf. It’s not been online for a month or so, but that’s due to the high
temperatures we’ve been having (it currently lives in a rack in my Garage). I hope to be
able to bring it back online in the next week or two.
I have plenty of other DEC hardware that can be brought online, but I don’t normally have
it running. I need to find time to take care of the RIFA cap’s in my BA23 and BA123
chassis’ before I can bring my PDP-11’s online. That’s been on my Todo list for several
years.
