I had a working MicroVAX-II (which is only 5 feet from me as I type this) but the hard drive finally died. I ran it for 22 years, with a number of upgrades. The last app left on it was a home monitoring program with ADCs, temp and humidity sensors, air conditioning and heating connections, etc. I migrated that off in 2007 just before the disk crashed.
I do have a pile of other PDP-11/VAX parts here that I'm thinning out, as well as an old Heathkit LSI-11. I had all the pieces of a Trace Multiflow for a while ($200K VLIW computer), a working SGI IRIS 2020 (although I couldn't KEEP it working) and have a Honeywell Alert computer that was originally designed for the X15. It has no connectors internally, all 6 boards are interconnected to the backplane with flexible printed ribbon cables, and it folds open like a book. 5 V 25 A for the CPU alone, 24-bit word width, conduction cooled.
