Re: 1U VAX, was: Re: Computer stores
OK, I'll bite ;-) What is it exactly? There was a rtVAX on VME, which could be easily configured as 1U, but what do you have? https://twitter.com/AnachronistJohn/status/1291815674570891264 It's a VAXstation 4000/30 (also known as VLC) with a 500 gig SATA drive in a 1U case. It's colocated in a proper datacenter right now :D John

Early Computer Storefront Photos
I sent an email to Al asking if he wanted them, and no response which I took to mean no :). There are about 40 photos of the fronts of computer stores circa 1977-1978, and were taken by a friend of mine who was a computer salesman at the time. Most (all) are date stamped and have the store location written on the back. None for Santa Barbara :), so I'll pass them along to whoever wants them. And Al still has first shot at them if he missed my original email. $1000 with free postage, or free if you pay postage :). Priority mail should run about $8.00.

I (not John ;-) ) switched on my 4000s to the SCSI2SD, and I'm pretty happy with them. 6 partitions on one SD, and works nicely ...
