I kinda thought that was too much... It was $175 for just the box -- no
keyboard or monitor or harddrive. This place was kinda overpriced. I think
I spent too much as it was.
I got the following:
Mac Portable (no ps, condition unknown): 40.00
Altima 2 portable (286, mono VGA, works): 45.00
Grid Gridcase 3 (no ps, cond unknown): 45.00
Dash 030 (1 floppy, 1 340mb HD, cond unk): 100.00
6 bay scsi case (no scsi cable, tho): 15.00
AppleCD 300plus: 15.00
External 300ish Scsi hd: 20.00
Some weren't bad, others were...

Does anyone know what a sparcstation IPC is? Is it worth $175.00? (It had
four out of 8 SIMM slots on the right (looking from the back) filled in, and
another four/4 on the left, and no hard drive.) Thanks.

Ricardo,
I would very much appreciate if you could do the writeups for ALL of the
systems you mentioned. Even if someone else is already doing one, I can
always use the extra information.
Thank you VERY much!
Please have the write-ups done by October 20th if possible. Thanks!

While talking to the local DEC guy (Mark Sherman, sells me all kindsa
crap.) he mentioned that he recalled the 11/44 has 2 frontpanel options.
One was the minimal panel I got, and the other was a calculator type
panel. The interesting part was that the calculator frontpanel was
detachable, so techs you get one to use with a machine ordered with the
minimal panel. Is that true? Could I track one of these down anywhere?
Or is this a simple thing to build?
(I am dialed in at about 2400 baud. This is NOT fun... never saw how
much Pine wants to refresh the screen until you have to wait about 1/2 sec
for it to do so! I think from now on I'll use the command-line mailer...)
Let's try it with some text this time, shall we? ;-)

I have 3, and that's 1 more than I plan to keep (I think)
2 Cipher 6250s, and a 1550 (I think, it's the smaller version of a 6250).
Anyone need one or two (Depending on which one's a TM02 or can become one
or will at least boot the diag tapes I have.
They're really heavy. And I have no real place to put them.
I picked up a Mac Portable today, but it had no power supply. Anyone know
of an (affordable) source to get one? Thanks!

The battery charger is just 9VDC, but I hope you have a functional
battery, since the Mac Portable will not run on the battery charger.
There is no AC adapter. The batteries are lead-acid and tend to
deteriorate over time. Eventually all of these machines will stop
working.
