Old 386 and 486 pc's

by SUPRDAVE＠aol.com

harrumph; typical clueless non-computer type that thinks any old computer is worth plenty. there's a guy at an established flea market that tries to get the same price out of old machines. i bought a northgate 386/20 from a guy at work and even got the great northgate keyboard too for only $20! heh, you oughta go back to the guy and ask him if he'd be willing to buy comparable 386 and 486 models for half his asking price. i could find some pretty cheap machines and make profit off him!

Someone with an RL02 needed.

by DSEAGRAV＠toad.xkl.com

I started diggin thru the tapes I got from knox, maybe one of them was a backup of RSTS. Found one. The gotcha - It'll only extract to an RL02. So, anyone got a PDP-11 with an RL02 and a TS tape? I need someone to extract the tape for me, and shove it on a disk image like the ones E11 takes. I should be able to unscrew myself from there. -------

Any Zilog 8000 collectors out there.

by Innfogra＠aol.com

While rummaging through the back corner of the whse I stumbled across a bare Zilog 8000 card cage with a full complement of cards. Circa 1983 Mfg. Every slot full. This would be a great backup card set or a way to get a non-working Zilog up and running. I also have an extra memory card beyond that. I also discovered a Daisy Logician Card Multibus cage and cards also. I doubt anyone is collecting these though. If interested please reply to whoagiii(a)aol.com directly. Thanks for the list, Paxton

Oh well. > Looks like you like to play tricks on users as well. I used to send "FATAL SYSTEM CRASH" on networked PDP11's, VAXstations and Alphastations. It is amazing the panic that things like that will create. Not to mention the "Virus" messages to opa0: on April 1. Dan

System 36 Peripheral - Heads up

by jeff.kaneko＠juno.com

Guys: This was posted to the NG a week ago-- DOn't know if he still has it. COntact this guy directly . . . . . ********************************************** From: user643249(a)aol.com (User643249) Newsgroups: misc.forsale.computers.storage Subject: IBM System 36 (50 lb) HD FS Lines: 15 NNTP-Posting-Host: ladder03.news.aol.com X-Admin: news(a)aol.com Date: 25 Nov 1998 13:58:28 GMT Organization: AOL http://www.aol.com Message-ID: <19981125085828.10541.00000420(a)ng-ce1.aol.com> Xref: Sn misc.forsale.computers.storage:96713 IBM System 36 HDD , 27 MEG About the size of a tower system and three times as heavy. It does have a clear cover over the heads and disks so they can be observed in operation- if you can get it working which was no mean feat and required a system 36 as the interface is proprietary. It's also missing the drive belt between the auto starter size electrical motor and the pulley/axle of the disks - but an auto fan belt should be about the right size. If you have a use (ie. display , teaching aid, etc) for it let me know - shortly.. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
