Well, nothing terribly interesting, depending on your perspective :-)  In
terms of DEC stuff, I have a VAX-11/780 with the Unibus extension cabinet,
a VAX-11/750, a VAX 6000-530, a PDP-11/44, 4 of some flavor of Vaxstation
(3100?) that I haven't had a chance to do anything with yet, a Microvax 2,
a PDP-11/83 in the little tower case, and all sorts of peripherals, like a
TS11, TU80+, all sorts of RL02 and RA80 drives, an RP06, an RP07, an HSC
(can't remember the model) with star coupler, an LA120, and other stuff
I'm sure I'm forgetting.  Like I said, nothing really worth writing home
about, but at least it was all free for the hauling.

In other stuff, I have a complete IBM System/36 (5360) system (CPU, 3262
printer, 8809 tape drive, displays, other bits), a complete System/34
(same setup), a Valid Data Systems CAD arrangement that I haven't done
anything with yet, several large plotters including a Benson photoplotter,
a couple hundred micros (some of just about everything but not much of
anything- TRS-80, Timex Sinclair, Apple, Commodore, CP/M stuff like Kaypro
and Osborne, lots of Intel and Teradyne Multibus stuff, Unix-running jobs
like AT&T 7300's and an NCR Tower, and of course loads of IBM stuff).
Most acquired for free or cheap from hamfests.
