-I have semi-recently developed an interest in old RISC machines ([DEC], SunMicrosystems, [SGI], etc) and am now trying to get my hands on any parts, software or documentation for such systems. I have also recently been experimenting with [VMS] but still need more hardware/media/documentation - especially smaller desktop sized systems.
