Long story short, licked off the electrical circuit instead - managed to knock out the whole flat. Epic. Fail. Anyway, the rest of my machines have come up except for RHESUS, I need to get into my rack with a serial cable to get it up and am frankly too hung over to deal with this right now :) Sampsa Sounds like the kind of day I had yesterday. The deserver 90TL through which my entire vax/alpha/ia64 collection have their consoles routed has had an intermittent problem which I attributed to a dodgy power cable. Yesterday I bit the bullet and replaced the cable only to have an epic fail myself. Not even a power light. At least when I break decservers they have the courtesy of giving me a power light. Anyway, my spare decserver exhibits random and totally undesirable behaviour, so my collection is effectively offline for the most part until I find a replacement. Anyone got a 90TL or 90M going spare? I've got two 90L+ s and a 90M. I *think* they're spare. To be honest I'm clearing out a lot of old computers (mostly but not all DEC) so if anyone wants them too I'll list them here ;-) Chrissie Hello! **Elbows Sampsa.** "What he said." Same here. Now now boys, no pushing :-) Sorry, but Mark asked first about the servers. I just have to find some packaging now. Chrissie Hello! Then I'll accept any seconds. What's left is: HP 9000/C110 (4GB & 2GB disks internal) Linux/HPUX DEC 3000/300 (2x 1GB disks, one internal, 1 external) DEC Unix/VMS VAXstation 3100/95 (1gb disk external) VMS Alpha pws433au (2 4GB disks) Linux/VMS 1 single speed caddy-loading CD reader - unknown marque 1 rrd42 single speed caddy-loading CD reader. 4 CD caddys Lots of SCSI cables (including, I think, one of those funny-sized ones that only DEC ever used) and a video cable for the 3000/300 There's also a VAXstation 4000VLC, but I'm keeping that for sentimental reasons :-) If you can drive to Leeds (UK!) and collect any of this then you're welcome - I will *not* post it. I've already had one offer but it's first come-first served. *now* you can start pushing ! Chrissie
