A nice little hobbyist machine - PWS500au with:
- 3x 9GB discs as JBODs off a 3 channel SWXCR (+ a spare SWXCR)
- extra 10/100 ethenet
- 2x ELSA Gloria Synergy (runs dual monitor with the Xinerama extension for DECwindows/Motif)
- around 500MB memory (made up of 3 pairs of DIMMs of varying sizes)
- TDK CD/DVD burner (works with VMS copy/record)
There's some DS10 / DS10L memory (512MB made up of 2x 256MB options = 4 x 128MB DIMMs in total.
There might be some other stuff (plastic brick style discs, mostly 18GB and 36GB, BA356 storage shelf, etc.) as well, depends what I have left from a big clear-out.
Best collected. I don't want (or have time for) the hassle of arranging shipping.
Located in Bristol UK. Best to call my office number weekdays if you're interested: +44 117 904 8209
Cheers, Colin.
