Here's what I have to offer:

    - DEC OpenVMS V6(.3?) full, paperback, documentation set in
      original Digital-branded carton, all in excellent shape;

    - HP-branded LK463 keyboard with USB interface and PS/2-
      converter, in excellent and practical new condition;

    - DEC (and Digital-branded) LK46W-A2 with PS/2 interface,
      very good shape (looks great), except one 'tilting leg'
      is missing;

    - DEC ball mouse with PS/2 interface, in the same beige
      color as the LK46W-A2;

    - various old and new 68-pin and 80-pin SCA/SCA2 interface
      SCSI disks, both in 2½" and 3½" form factors (mostly
      'short' ones, thus not the 'taller'/older types) in and
      of various brands/models and capacities ranging from 1
      to 300 Gbytes (contact me for more information);

    - various old 50-pin SCSI disks (idem ditto, except the
      capacities range from 1 to about 4½ Gbytes and some are
      'taller'), contact me for more information);

    - DEC RRD43 external CD-ROM drive, amazingly with original
      documentation(!) and SCSI-type converter and cables
      (Digital-branded, too) available;

    - HP DS2100 (Disk System 2100), UltraSCSI (either U160
      or U320), for 4 * 3½" SCSI disks in HP "ring"-type sleds,
      in excellent shape and with rack-mounting 'ears' included;

    - loads of SCSI cables, practically all sorts and kinds;

    - loads of SCSI terminators, both active and inactive,
      mostly LVD/SE and quite a few still even in packaging;

    - loads of HP disk brackets/sleds, including the HP "ring"-
      type in both light/beige and dark gray/black that would
      fit in rx1600/rx1620/rx2600/rx2620/rx4640, DS2100, etc.
      and the like computer/storage systems, also many non-HP
      sleds for more 'PC'-like systems, like IBM ("x"), Dell
      and what-not (ask if you're interested);

    - DEC Multia/UDB VX40B with 166-MHz processor and 256
      Mbytes RAM, 72-Gbyte U320 2½" SCSI disk (that I
      shoehorned in with necessary conversion), with HP
      Tru64 UNIX V5.1B-4 pre-installed and lots of extras;

    - DEC Multia/UDB VX42B with 233-MHz processor and an
      unknown amount of RAM, without (working, or actually,
      wired PSU connector) and in 'unknown' working state
      and in otherwise fairly good physical condition;

    - original DEC advertisement material, VAX and AXP/Alpha
      era marketing material (brochures, whitepapers, "Digital
      Systems and Option Catalog" booklets from several years
      and more), I'll make pictures of them if there's interest
      for it;

    - several OSF/1 and Tru64 UNIX workbooks, or at least one
      that I could immediately find;

    - a bunch of DEC, Compaq and HP cables, plastics and other
      types of parts;

    - a bunch of OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX installation media,
      originals;

    - an original CD-ROM (in jewel case) installation medium
      of the Sybase database software for OpenVMS AXP;

    - loads of memories, including PC2100 ECC-registered DDR-
      SDRAM (like for several HP Integrity systems, many even
      original and HP-branded) and the "parity" type that
      would fit/work in the Multia/UDB (the exact type escapes
      me at the moment), also the type for DEC Personal
      WorkStation-series and likely more (ask for more details,
      I will then take a closer look);

    - a good quantity of *OpenVMS-compatible* (in fact, also
      HP-UX- and IRIX-compatible) _10-Gbit_ fiber-optical
      (i.e. 10GBASE-SR) PCI-X ethernet NICs and also LC/LC
      fiber-optical cables available;

    - several (mostly Ultra320) SCSI HBAs, PCI or PCI-X;

    - HP 8-port RJ-45/UTP KVM extender hub, I'll have to
      check the exact type (but it should work with fairly
      recent RJ-45/UTP KVM equipment);

    - Quantum Ultrium LTO-1 SCSI tape drive, full-height,
      in external enclosure and with various empty data
      cartridges;

    - several, mostly Sony (and possibly rebranded), DAT40/
      DDS-4 SCSI tape drives and loads of empty DDS-2, DDS-3
      and DDS-4 data cartridges, also cleaning tapes.

I may have forgotten to mention some things, I may add those
later on.  (If you suspect I made a typo somewhere, feel of
course free to contact me about it.)

Anyway, I plan to recycle the majority of this in about a week
or two, if these items haven't been spoken for by that time.
