Jeff,
shipping them to the Netherlands is probably useless, shipping is very
likely too expensive.
If you decide to scrap the units then I'd be very interested in memory
and graphics boards.
I have six model 60's and three mode 90A's and a few have a bad
graphics card. And needing memory,
well, I guess you know the old trouble shooting diagrams in the VAX/
VMS performance guide?
Nearly all paths ended in the box labeled "Buy More Memory" ;-)
