We just trashed a vax 11/750 (in working condition when we took it offline
about 3 years ago...)  I would have saved parts had I known anyone was still
interested in them... As it was, I posted to some of the forsale newsgroups
that it was free, but got no replies...

Anyway, we still have a ton of old vax boards laying around... maybe one of
them (or lots of them?) could be of use ?  I don't know what a PCS module
is, but if you could give me the # off the board, I could look through what
we have and letcha know if we have one...
