I have a pair of QBus FDDI cards. I suppose I would have to make the Octane a router between FDDI and ethernet. :) Are any of those 4000/500s mine? ;) Nope. I picked these up from Villanova University several years ago. I was interviewing at a place recently and the subject of VAXen came up. Interviewer: "I remember have an account on a pair of 4000/500s in a cluster when I was at Villanova years ago." Me: "Those machines are at my house now!" Interviewer: "NO WAY!" That's cool. :-) It was. I don't remember why I don't work there though. I don't remember exactly, but I seem to remember them not wanting to pay me enough. :) I had quite a few machines up here in your old place at one point. Don't worry, I'd only be after one of them, and even that is low-priority at this point. Going and rescuing all that stuff is something I really want to do one day. Not anytime soon though. :( Well, let me know when you're able to. Even if you can't move it all down there, if you can just come up by car, you and I can head over there with a truck, and the stuff (even yours) can sit here for awhile. At least then it won't be in a barn, and won't be at risk in any way. We could probably do it over a weekend trip, even on a liesurely schedule. Yeah, that's definitely something we should do. There's no way I can move the majority of that stuff down here. A lot of it I'll just never run and so will likely put up to be given away. Still, it won't be until at least early next year that I can even consider this. Time and money are both really tight right now. -brian
