thank you for these links.  I have quite a bit of DEC around, and it is
nice to know that I can can keep them going.  (I have already lost a
power supply in one of my storage expansion boxes.)

I have a 5000/240 (3MAX) still running 1.4.3A that I have been
postponing upgrading for a long time now.  how is NetBSD 5.0 running for
you on your DECStation?  would you reccomend it as a stable upgrade?
