The second person who expressed interest in the 11/780 has backed out on me. My mail handling program has ate at least two other offers - If you got no reply from me, the mailer had your letter for lunch. If you want it here is what you must do: 1. go to whoever holds the purse strings for your company and tell them about the machine. be sure to tell them about _maintainence_. I know you want it, but you're not paying for it ... 2. find out what shipping will cost from central iowa to where ever you might be. I can find a shipper in the area if you don't know of one. 3. call me, Neal, at 515 - 292 - 7209, to make any other arrangements that may be needed. 4. be ready to fed-ex me a check for the full price of the machine. a reasonable offer would be $1000. There are a slug of hobbiests who want the 730, and some of them have even offered to _pay_ for it, of all things. The 780 is in the way and $0.06 a pound for it after I take the drives out is looking better and better all the time. Don't delay, or you may just get a uuencoded gif of what it looked like after it went through a crusher. Heres the description again, in case you lost it: Vax 11/780-EK CPU with: FPA780-AA 12 1 MB ram boards /w 64k chips H9602-MA (massbus expansion cabinet?) with: 1. UDA50 - disk controller 2.
