[RndTbl] Cleaning out less-common hardware

[Robert Dyck]

I would like an old Alpha capable of running OpenVMS. Just to keep my skills
up. I bid on a contract a few years ago to replace an old VAX with a new
model system; didn't get it simply because I wasn't American. But I doubt
they would find anyone with 1989 certification for VMS. The MicroVAX is
pre-Alpha (I remember administering a 3000 series), but can your Digital
Server run OpenVMS? I have a CD with VMS Alpha 7.2-2 OS binaries.

As for old PCs, I volunteer with Mike Pfaiffer at a computer lending
library. They could use any P4 PCs.

By the way, what is a "Laboratory tube PSU, variable 200-325V  0.1A"?
