Subject: DECmate II's ?

If anyone's interested, I have a friend that's in the government
surplus business that has around 50 or so DECmate II's sitting in a
warehouse.  I think he's planning on scrapping them, but I'm really
not sure.  If he'll sell them individually, they'd probably go REALLY
cheap.  If anyone's interested, send me some mail and I'll contact him
about it.

I have received a number of responses regarding the possible
availability of a boatload of DECmate II's.  My apologies that I
haven't yet responded to all the mail I've gotten, but it's been busy
lately.  You know how it goes.

  The machines are indeed available, about 50 of them.  They are in
unknown condition, but I took a quick peek and they looked a bit dirty
but they weren't bashed-up or anything.  I'll try to crack a few open
and see if they're complete on the inside.  I've been told that some
(not all) of them have hard disks in them, and they all have RX50's.
No keyboards (LK201's) are available, and I doubt if the monitors are
still there, I didn't see them anywhere.  I'll keep you posted, I
should be able to get back there next weekend to take a more thorough
look at the equipment.  Thanks for your patience.
