Why a museum?


The museum's purpose is to preserve a little bit of computing history, in the shape of a reconstructed computer room of the late 1980's. The reason is simple - nobody seems to be doing it, and if I didn't do it, there is a good chance many things will be lost.

Focusing on 80's old computers in general, or even just old DEC computers, is a bit too much - I lack the space and resources for such a collection. So I am focusing on the MicroVAX II, and I hope more people out there would form their own focused, managable collections. 


Who owns it?


My museum is a private museum, and I own the stuff. 
 


How professional and accurate is your museum? is it really a museum or just a pile of old computer junk?


All the relevant hardware in my museum is pre-1991, and if it's not - it means I'm still looking for a proper replacement exhibit from that period.
Some later items are from a time when the MicroVAX II was still around - a RRD45 CDROM drive, or a SCSI tape drive. I keep them because I'm using them, and they make life a little bit easier.


What are your visiting hours?


By appointment only.


How can I help?


Any help with the running costs of the museum will be much appreciated.  Use the Paypal Donate button on the left. Thanks!
And, if you have any software, on any media, which would run on the MicroVAX II, I would be very interested.
