Hi Martin
I can help you about switch. Where we can find a switch? Ebay?

If you've been following my contributions to OpenBSD's kernel, you
already know that in the past years I've been working on the Network

Early of last year, a 4000/96 completely died.
Recently, another 4000/96 developed a bad row of bits in the cache
controller.

Hopefully someone there will have an extra system or 2 to donate.
I've tried building (samba) on my MicroVAX 3100-40, but it is
painfully-painfully slow.
Do we have to have a VAX system to do builds on, or would it be possible
OK... sorry
The only other machine that I could offer is a Vaxstation 3100 m30, but it
doesn't even run VMS very well and probably would not be a very good build
machine.

Thanks for the offer, but I really cannot house a 4000/300. Quite
simply, that is too large.
Actually, I just spoke to one of my co-workers... he is an OpenBSD guy and
he knows Theo and the location of the build hardware, so I've lined up
someone to move it to its location, I've just got to wipe VAX/VMS from it
and install the recent build of OpenBSD.

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
I've just added an entry on want.html for a Thinkpad X60 or X60s.
These machines contain the 945GM chipset which shows severe graphics
corruption problems with inteldrm(4). I've seen some corruption happen
on other intel graphics hardware, but none as severe as on these kinds
of Thinkpads.

Hi,
At the end of June I sent out a donation request in order to put
together an amd64 system. The donations to date have covered all of the
non-core components like case, power supply, storage, and dvd writer.
However, I still need to acquire CPUs and memory to complete the system.
