What DEC hardware was it ?
We used to have a Vax 11/750 running Ultrix and then 4.3 BSD in the
department
Of interest to see one saved if I can find one. Still have the source
code and maybe the tapes.
Ferrymead doesn't save computers -- not old enough. The old computer
group out there
is long defunct. We had a full museum
worth of PC's, minis and a *lot* of other computing memorabilia that we
couldn't
store any more. (Earthquake repairs). Ferrymead, Canterbury and Otago
Museum didn't want it
(Otago had most anyway and only really wanted local). I could find no
other museum I found
in the South island. In the end it was split between the Yaldhurst
Museum and an
ex Data General Engineer (Brendan McNeill) that was looking to start a
local computing museum

Not really old or rare enough to be in a museum, although Pleasent
Point Railway Museum might be interested, whereas Ferrymead is quite
space-constrained.

Does it have to be PC/i386 stuff?
I'll be helping a firm pull out some old DEC hardware next month..
Serious big-iron they are going to have to pay to get taken away if
you're really keen.
It's not been powered on since about 1990, and you'll need a truck. :-)

Hi Chris & Others,
I know what it's like. Would you mind keeping an eye out for exotic
hardware, before it goes to molten media? They tend not to know much
about what they are scrapping.
