Here are some images of the MicroVAX: https://i.imgur.com/eVaNwtH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/evgSuo0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LIfVzEI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Jrm2XIT.jpg Boards: https://i.imgur.com/QqtpE0s.jpg <https://i.imgur.com/QqtpE0s.jpg> https://i.imgur.com/Ewb7Tbx.jpg <https://i.imgur.com/Ewb7Tbx.jpg> https://i.imgur.com/Csq2jvD.jpg <https://i.imgur.com/Csq2jvD.jpg> https://i.imgur.com/60Nto25.jpg <https://i.imgur.com/60Nto25.jpg> System images were taken just now, the board images a while ago. It's been in a climate controlled basement since 2019 (when I got it). I tried to do the PXE boot-thing for VAX but was never able to make it all work together. I don't know if the floppy or tape drive work, prb. need some TLC. You may notice a Gesswein MFM emulator - that would _NOT_ be included, but it simply has an image of the HD that is included. The HD works and spun up, but I didn't want to put more wear on it. If you know DMG, I'm sure he can give you the lowdown on this thing better than I can. -andy

You are in luck. I have a working (boots but not all the way into openBSD) MicroVax II in the BA-123 'under the desk' chassis I want to trade for some Lisa or SGI equipment. Maybe sell if I can't trade.
It's stacked with ethernet, 12M RAM and like 10-12 serial ports on the back. Tape drive, sloppy drive and HD. I have a VT220 (the one that you connect to a CRT) and a another VT2xxx something I use on the MicroVax...
If you are interested contact me off list and I'll bring it up to the swap meet, and can send some pictures.

Hi everyone, new to the list - I'm hoping to make it to the swap meet on Feb 26th, and I'm wondering if folks have a few things I'm looking for...
* AT&T 3b1 / 7300 / UnixPC hardware - looking for an actual 3b1, but also for boards and media. * AT&T 605 terminal(s) * Nothern Telecom Displayphone (hah, unlikely, but I want to toss it out there) * DEC terminals - specifically any VT2x+ terminals (Have several VT100's already) * DEC micro- hardware. Talking microvax, micropdp11, and Pro350 - specifically the 'under desk vertical cased' machines * DEC VK100 / GIGI terminal (a barco monitor with it would be amazing)
More traditionally * TRS-80 Model III and Model 1 hardware * Non-bulky ascii terminals (altos terminals would be wonderful)
And, because I'm the Handheld guy, any handheld computers. My wishlist / current collection is here: https://planet-geek.com/vintage-handheld-computers/
I have to offer: * Osbourne 1 * Kaypro 2, Kaypro 4, maybe a Kaypro 10? * Several HP calculators * Coleco Adam complete
Looking forward to seeing folks...
