I'd like to get a rough idea of how much the following systems would go for in the marketplace. We're considering replacing them so I'm trying to estimate the final migration cost. 1) uVaxII/GPX (BA123 floorstand enclosure) 5MB RAM 70MB RD53 TK50 95MB tape drive 2 135MB Wren-3 disks with controller DEUNA Ethernet board 8-line serial board 2) uVaxII (BA123 floorstand enclosure) 5MB RAM 2 70MB RD53 TK50 95MB tape drive DEUNA Ethernet board Thanks in advance for your responses.

As far as selling to dealers, the following seems to hold (it did for us): 1. operating system licenses are important. VMS is "worth" more; 2. depending on whom you talk to and when, items such as RD53's, TK50's, and DEC serial boards tend to be hard to get rid of for ANY money; you are likely to be told that someone already has too many in stock as it is. greg pavlov, fstrf, amherst, ny
