FORWARDED.  A friend called these to my attention but, truthfully, I can
spare neither the space, the power, nor the time.  I'm willing to
provide labor assist with pickup, schedule permitting.

I have a Digital PDP-11/23+, DECWriter-II, VT-100's, spares and more.
This is the 1/2-rack configuration. It was removed from service working,
but other than 2 RL-02 drives I don't know its full configuration. THIS
IS NOT A PC. It will not run Windows or MACOS. It is a "mainframe"
computer. You will need a truck or minivan to move it. I have a backhoe
to assist with lifting if needed.

I have a Digital Alphaserver 4100, nearly max configuration, graphics,
screen, networking, and additional StorageWorks RAID cabinet. All
storage shelves are full of disks. THIS IS NOT A PC. Oddly, it does run
a special version of Windows Server 4.1 (currently installed). It can
also run Linux, BSD, OpenVMS, Tru64 Unix and others. Both the server
rack and the StorageWorks cabinet are the "pedestal" cabinets (3 feet
tall). Both run on normal house power (110v, 10 amps). You will need a
minivan or larger to move. It can be picked up by two people.
