[SATLUG] DEC stuff for free!

[Mitch Thompson]

The end of an era.

I have three Digital Equipment Corp. Multia workstation mainboards 
available to anyone who wants to play.

Actually, I have two mainboards, and a complete workstation with a dead 
power supply.  At some time in the past, I also bought 256MB of ECC RAM 
for them so's I could run Linux. 

As those who may be familiar with the Multia know, the power supplies in 
these things are a mere 75 watts, and run borderline meltdown when they 
run.  Heat death is common.  However, if you are into hacking, it is 
possible to connect a standard AT/X PS to one and it runs fine.

The Multia was quite the feature-laden machine: PS/2 mouse/keyboard, 
dual PCMCIA slots, 10BaseT and AUI connectors, VGA video, serial, 
parallel ports.  Also, a SCSI controller, and IDE controller, and one 
PCI 3.3v slot.  I have two ribbon cables for connecting a 2.5" IDE drive. 

Two of the three motherboards (the ones not in a case) did power up and 
boot (Linux RH6.2) the last time I messed with them.

They are free for the taking.  My cell is 260-1571 or reply off-list.  
My new job prevents me from reading personal email so it may be this 
evening before I respond.  First email based on timestamp gets it.
