Currently has VMS 8.4 installed but also runs Debian Linux and True-64 Unix.
AXP 433Mhz CPU 2Mb B cache
768MB RAM
4.3GB HDD
Toshiba SCSI CDROM
Floppy disk
PBXGB Graphics Card 2Mb
DE500 Network Card (in addition to onboard 21143)
PBXDA 4 port async card (no cable)
ISP1040 Qlogic SCSI card (in addiion to onboard ISP1040)
I also have the following additional cards.
PBXGI Powerstorm 4D40T PCI Graphics adapter (a monster of a card, requires 2 slots and is only supported by True 64 UNIX).

Buyer collects from SE England RG27 or GU34. Can been seen working at GU34 if required - evening or weekends only.
It is a nice system and I've grown quite fond of it but I don't have the space any more so it must go.
