VAXlabs Hapert

The hardware section of the VAXarchive suddenly got a rather large injection!

This is a pic of me (right) and my friend Fred (left) who got this truckload (literally) of VAX 4000 equipment, a big cluster just out of service. It was supposed to be stored in the Geldrop Computer Home, but that was just impossible. We found a solution in a building in the nearby Hapert.

It works! We of course removed the data of the previous owner.
