Hi, this is a purely hardware related question, but since I couldn't find a
suitable newsgroup, I'll ask it here:

I need RAM for a VAXstation 3100 Model 76.

I need 16MB more, so I can max-out the machine and install NetBSD on it.
If you have by chance the modules I need, or maybe you know somebody that does
have those, please let me know.

It's been years now, and I still can't find all spare parts I need to get the
VAXstation going.

Please help.

As an Amiga owner, I understand how difficult it is to find spare
parts. My best suggestion is that you try eBay. Never know what you
might find there.

Try arclightindustries.com. He does not list any, but it might be worth
emailing the owner.
