Hi all, since the topic already started I'd liked to jump in. Do people on this list also run other vintage (non-alpha, NON-X86!!) machines (not the alpha is all vintage, but mine is). If so which? What experiences? What OSes? I just ask because I had the offer to buy a MicroVax II for EUR 150.- but didn't take it because I was unsure if it was really worth it. Of course I know the hardware isn't worth very much anymore, but what about the fun factor of such machines? I also saw a PDP-11/70 (?? one of those in a almost standard tower case) on American ebay with full docu and licenses. Any one got one of these really old machines as a toy? I know it's off topic again, but.... (can't think of any excuses anymore) Thanks in advance, Jan -- Jan Lentfer System Administrator Molecular Cell Biology / AG Holstein, Darmstadt University of Technology, Schnittspahnstr. 10, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany Tel: +49 6151 16 5563 / Tel private: +49 6151 788415 / mobile: +49 163 4712037 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
