I am looking for the following Digital/Compaq hardware (original
Digital/Compaq except possibly for memory upgrades), either for free or
for a relatively cheap price.  I MIGHT be interested in trading Digital
hardware for Digital hardware as well. 

   o  any ALPHA boxes (preferably PCI instead of Turbochannel)

   o  any VAXstation 4000 

   o  VAXstation 3100 (M76 or better only)

   o  SCSI hard disks of 0.5 GB or more

   o  tape drives (DLT, DAT or EXABYTE)

   o  CD-ROM drives

   o  memory upgrades for the above machines

   o  VT 320 or better terminals (screens and/or keyboards (only LK201 
      layouts, of course))

   o  colour graphics monitors (and keyboards, again only LK201 layouts) 
      for the above machines

I can collect essentially anywhere in Europe.  Obviously, the closer it
is to me the less equipment is needed to make the trip worthwhile.
`Closer to me' means close to the strip of land between Hamburg and
Frankfurt am Main (where I am working at the moment).  I expect to 
travel quite a bit later this year, so I can probably make the trip to 
you if it's worth it for me.

This text or rather the current version of it is available 
at 

   http://www.astro.multivax.de:8000/helbig/vms/hardware.txt

(it is text and not html so I can more easily post it to 
newsgroups, send it via email and so on).  Feel free to 
distribute it as widely as possible.
