Re: multiple vax 6000's free to a good home

Hi,
   My take would be a maximum of One, however
   I'm not an EE.  Can you reccomend a URL to instructions
   to convert the power supply?  I've heard of at least one person
   who has done such a conversion, possibly to their 240/normal
   phase circuit.
