You'd be supprised how many places STILL run old DEC systems!
The consulting company I used to work for had several clients (as of 2 years ago) still running on them! The biggest problem we started running into, was the systems were often placed "on edge" to save space in the data closet. Yup, they still had the original "foot" to hold it sideways... Anyway, I digress. The rubber standoffs INSIDE the hard drives would brake down from age, and the platters would actually spin into the hard drive case. Can you say fubar?
I checked out in the garage, and I still have a VAXstation 4000 60 that boots up fine. It is all setup with both AUI and tp ethernet. If all else fails, I can send it to you and you can offload your data.
Let me know.
