[rescue] Need to get rid of my sun collection

[silcreval]

Hi Robert,

I would be interested in any spare VME cards for the 6x0MP as I have a few of these machines which I'm slowly restoring.

In particular CPU or memory cards in any condition.

Thanks

Ian

I have many boxes of spare VME boards, sbus and mbus modules and spare motherboards. I also have a few 64 bit systems. Probably around 50 systems total. I also have monitors, keyboards, mice, cables, external CD and tape drives including a 9 track, multiport serial, printer with spare cartridges, books, manuals and software.
