Time to dispose of some more of my stuff so it doesn't
end up in the trash when my widow has to clear the house.
Any interest in BA356-SBs? All with disks in them. And
I have a decent stack of used RZs in caddies. I even still
have 11 RZ28's still in the static bags. Would have to be
someone close enough to pick them up here in the Poconos but
I have seen a lot of postings from people in Eastern PA and
north and middle NJ.
Is it worth my taking the time to count up exactly what I
have or would no one be interested in making an offer.
They will not be going on eBay.
Just for information, I have used these with PDP-11's
with 3rd party SCSI modules, PC's with SCSI Cards and
Ersatz-11 and even a Tandy Color Computer with a TC^3
SCSI card and NitrOS9.

Hi there,
I need a power supply for my PDP8F computer.
It is missing.
The PDP8F 19" chassis box came in 3 different depths,
600 mm (PSU front to back)
370 mm (PSU across the back)
300 mm (PSU front to back)
I need the shallow one, the 300 mm PSU front to back.
Do you have one available, or know where I can get one please.
Even if it is dead!
regards
ray
I'm looking for an HP 9000 Visualize workstation, like a B160L or B180L+.
I'll be attending VCF East in a few weeks so might find one there.
Has anyone used Cypress technology out of Clearwater, FL? It seems they provide a nice, fully configured to spec turnkey solution, but there's no doubt they charge for it.

Any better HP-specific forums or references would be appreciated!
Thanks
I know this is a real long shot but is there any chance someone
has a copy of the original distribution of the Amoeba OS from
the University in the Netherlands? Searching the web finds only
the current version which runs on X86. I am looking for the
original which also ran on Sparc and (of the most interest to
me) the VAX.
Remember when they said now that we had the web nothing would
ever be lost again? :-(

Clearly all or virtually all chineseum, correct?
That being the case, um, what type.of.quality can be expected? Some are fairly cheap. I guess thenworld isn't to be expected.
MTM Scientific (Clinton, MI) offered modern redrawn IBM PC 5150 base board
and a Full Kit, at one time.

While he is no longer selling separate blank 5150 boards,
you could inquire about Gerbers.

Just out of curiosity, what are you using this board for? The IBM 5150
uses at least three different mother boards, 16K, 256k, and I *think*
512K soldered in RAM. Each is expandable to 640K with 3rd sourced RAM
boards.
I should have (somewhere) at least one of each. I also have several 5150
complete units including keyboard (not so sure about the monitors.)

The board itself, including the traces, has to be in good shape. Don' t care about it's functionality, or even if chips are missing. An actual IBM product, regardless of revision. Might consider an entire 5150 box. NJ.

That is going away, too.
