I was a student at HillcrestHighSchool and then Waikato University doing ComputerScience (BCMS).

I have 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.

I am currently after:
* a [DEC] MIPS system
* a PDP of some sort (PDP-11 or PDP-8 would be easiest I suppose)
* [VAX] and Alpha stuff - systems, parts, manuals, media
* Any old unwanted SGI, Sun and IBM RS/6000 stuff

I currently run on my network:
* Some generic boring PC machines and an old 68k apple or two
* An [Alpha]Server 1200 running [OpenVMS] 8.3 and [Tru64] 5.1B-4
* An [Alpha]Server 800 running OpenVMS 8.3 and another one which will probably run Linux sometime
* Two [Alpha]Station 200s (both 4/166 models)
* Two MicroVAX 3500s running VMS 7.3 (one with an upgraded CPU making it a 3800) and a DECserver 100
* a VAXstation 4000/60 running VMS 7.3
* an IBM RS/6000 7248 currently running [AIX] 4.2
* an HP 9000 D380 running [HPUX] 10.20
* a SPARCstation IPC & IPX running [OpenBSD] acting as my monitor stand
* a SPARCstation 4 running [Solaris] 2.6
* an Ultra 1 running Debian with a differential SCSI SBus card
* an Ultra 1 Creator running [Solaris] 9 with a SunVideo SBus video capture card
* an [SGI] Indy running [IRIX] 6.5, another one running IRIX 5.3 and a third running NetBSD 4.0

I can be contacted via [MSN] or GoogleTalk during the afternoons and weekends or [via email | mailto:dgsoftnz@gmail.com] at anytime.
