Notes
I acquired the VAX 4000-200 in October 2005 when I saw a posting on the Linux-VAX mailing list from someone on the Isle of Wight, UK that had some VAX hardware he wanted to get rid of. Being 7400 km away from the Isle of Wight, local pickup wasn't an option. Or was it? My parents live in the UK, so I asked my dad if he was going to be anywhere near the Isle of Wight. Some arrangements were made, and in January 2006 my dad took possession of the computer. The machine lived in my parents' garden shed for a couple of years, until my dad made a trip to Canada, and sacrificed one of his bags in order to bring it over.
The machine owner was able to give me a bit of history. Apparently, this machine was the backup VAX on board the RSS James Clark Ross research ship. Being the backup machine, it saw less than 6 months of power-up time in it's life.
