I'm not willing to part with any of my Vaxstations since I'm actively using them, but I'm willing to donate one of my VAX 4000 model 300s that are sitting in my basement right now. They have DSSI disks but I think one of them has a SCSI card that I'll also part with. They are the size of a small

Hi, the VAXstation for the release builds died and the last one that got used up to now for package builds is now used for the release builds. That means, there is no VAX left for "regular" package builds, and release package builds. The VAXstation used so far was a VAXstation 4000/100, somethi
