Quick update:

I'm giving up on the VAX and plan on scrapping it this spring. The frustration of going through two dead CPU boards finally made me realise I'm wasting my time on this project. If anyone wants any of the good parts (PSU, RAM boards, RF72, fan drawer), let me know. I can also ship from my German address.

The Alpha is confirmed working and bootable. I've temporarily disabled clustering for testing. The NVRAM has been replaced.

I´m interested in the Alpha.

Do you have pictures? How do you want for the Alpha and for shipping to Germany?

I am interested in the VAX parts. I am in the UK. How much do you want for the memory and disk, any idea what it would cost to ship them? I already have a spare PSU, so would only be interested in another spare if shipping isn't too costly. Are there any other Qbus boards in the machine?

Thanks

Rob
