I was going to bid $100 but I'm glad I didn't bother. The selling price --
$356.01 -- seems excessive considering that the tape drive has a problem.
Also, the seller has changed his Ebay userid within the last thirty days --
why? I like to see a seller's feedback.

I had other non RT-11 stuff... Also I have a RT-11 disti that is the
high
priced spread (macro with comments) and that does fill the disk. The
standard V5.x BIN disti is maybe 30% of the disk.
With say RT-disk I'd archive (same for RSTS) is to do a SQueeze.
Of course you want to image copy (RSX) and unix V7.

I know. ;) Though a few were partitioned so I could run them as
if they were nominal RL02. That wastes space if they were to be pure
archival.

That works. I also have that archive on DLT (TK50).

Yep, though the RD52s are likely the most reliable of the pack
and if the problem is not in the HDA a board swap is possible.
It was a direct approach.
Next pass will be to move them to a PC with a Cdburner.

Yes, and also some of the varients.

These are nice, real nice, but I dont have the space for books. I am sadly offering these up for trade. I hope to make someone happy with these.
Paper covers are intact and all there. Some of these might have a rare "scribbling" in pen or pencil but it's very, very rare.
There are 1 or 2 that need to have the bound page part reglued to the hardcover but a little bit of glue can make these perfect.
Prodos Technical Reference Manual 186 pages Softcover
Apple IIgs ProDos 16 Reference 338 pages Hardcover
Apple IIgs Toolbox Reference Vol.1 Hardcover (700+ pages?)

Thats over 35 pounds of books...I guess...
Once again, no money offers please. I am looking for nice systems to add to my 197x-198x early 1990s micros collection.

Last summer I picked up a Tek 2230, a 100 MHz two-channel
digital storage oscilloscope.
I think I'd like to check it checked out by a repair
service to confirm whether all its functions are working or not.
Can anyone recommend a service for this? I don't need a
full NBS certification, just a check-out.
