Can't decide what to do with recent aquisition

    Today, I was given an old VME card cage.  The chassis and card cage
is what I wanted.  Inside of the box is a standard VME backplane, a wire
wrap VME backplane, and three VME (4u?) Mupac wire wrap cards.  I hate
to give this stuff away (the VME cards that is), but, somehow, I
seriously doubt I will ever find a use for them.  The Mupac cards are
"very" nice.  I have purchased Mupac wirewrap panels in the past (for
projects at places I have worked), and they are not cheap.

    The back planes are 18 or 19 slots, I think.  The dimensions on the
3 wire wrap cards is about 9"x8" (very aproximate guess here, should
give you an idea of their exact size, they are standard VME cards with
two VME connectors).  Two of the cards have a lot of static ram chips on
them.  They apear to be 4 bits wide, I would guess 16K words.  Part
Number MT5C256I-45.

    Anybody interested?  I will let them go basically for shipping.
$20->$30.
