Hi JF,

I've been away for a week, just my luck.  I'm still running a 4000-200,
currently in a VAXserver 3600 cab, because one (or both) the power 
supplies in the original 4000-200 cabinet (which was actually a
VAX 3800, IIRC, sold to us used by DEC with a free 4000-200 upgrade)
died...

I'm in Massachusetts, which is a little far to drive to pick it up,
though.  But I would be interested in any boards, TK50/TK70, power
supplies, etc., that might still be available, and which would be
feasible to ship.

Got any Qbus SCSI boards?  They're worth their weight in gold, or
at least their weight in cubic zirconium.

Please don't trash it.
