HELP :-)
 
I recently picked up a VAX 11/750 with 2m words of ram, 4 dz11 muxes, a
multibus controller, a UDA50, and a couple 3rd party plotter controllers.
For this I paid $300.  What I did not get was storage.  I need enough
storage to build vms and do some development work.  I also need some sort
of tape drive to load vms and other software onto the machine.  I cannot,
however, spend an aweful lot bringing this system up.  I'm still in college,
and I've already spent a bundle upgrading my lisa-2 to a mac+ for 4mb & a
silly little hard drive.
 
So I need some sort of hard disk and a tape drive.  Size is not really   
important; I just killed my pile of pdp11/05 junk and now have plenty of
room next to the vax.  I can't use 3-phase drives (coulda gotten 5 rpo6's
free), but I might be able to get 240 1phase.  I would prefer to pick the
stuff up in the Puget Sound or Portland, Oregon area.  I can spend maybe
another $500 to get a nice tape drive and hard drive.
 
Also, I got 3 pro350's with 5 meg hard drives.  Two have a pos login installed,
so I can't even get into pos on them.  The third has no protection, but
I can't determine how to run fortran, dibol, or anything.  It appears that
someone removed some but not all of the applications' files.  I need manuals,
a cheap source for rx50 disks, software, and info on unix or venix for the
pros.  I figure I could rip out the st506s and put in 80 meg drives, get
a couple more memory cards, and have 3 nifty (maybe slot :-) ) unix
machines.
