NeXT wanna-owners:
A surplus electronics place, Electronics Plus, located in
Kerrville, TX (about 70 miles from me) has contacted me with a surplus of
NeXT equipment. They have N4000A monitors, keyboards, and mice - no CPU's,
but if you have or contemplate acquiring a headless system, these would
(obviously) be useful. They are as-is, and "the dust is free".
Contact email address is
sales(a)elecplus.com
or phone 830-792-3400 and ask for Cindy. (You are welcome to mention my
name if you wish.) I believe she is looking for prices in the $10-20 range
for the monitors; I don't know whether she's willing to box and ship, but I
can help out with that if needed.
Electronics Plus has about 10,000 square feet of space, with a very
wide variety of equipment, from military surplus to just about anything
else. Cindy specifically mentioned AT&T 3b2 equipment and IBM printers and
other systems.
I have not been there yet, but plan to soon, and I'll try to take
notes/digital snaps on anything I see that looks interesting.

All this talk of the KIM-1 reminded me that I'd prepared an
HTML file of the MOS Technology paper tape format, also
used by other 6502 machines (UK101 in particular). Anyway,
without further ado, here's the link:
http://www.gifford.co.uk/~coredump/mosptp.htm
Hope this helps anyone who's trying to get data on/off a
KIM, or indeed anything that uses this format. Many EPROM
programmers will accept it, for instance.

I have one excess IBM/Lexmark model 4033-001 token ring print server to part
with for what I paid for it. It's in like new condition, has the power
supply and manual. Has it's own unique ID, 16/4 switch and serial/parallel
ports. The serial port is a standard 9 pin d-sub and the parallel is a
standard 25 pin d-sub. It does not include a token ring whip, you add your
own style with 9 pin end to the unit. The 4 I installed on an AS/400 network
and they flawlessly installed and I have spoken with others that have used
these on System/3x and RS/6000 systems without problems, although they say
it's a little more manual due to the older OS. The unit is in great cosmetic
shape as well.
I had bought 6 of these and used 4 on a projest and had 2 left. One is now
spoken for and I have the last one left(the best of all of them I think). I
paid $7.50 per unit and that's what I need to get from it plus shipping.
Shipping should be minimal as the whole unit w/PSU weighs about 2.5lbs (prob
3 packed).
I would prefer that this be shipped only within the US 50 states and APO/FPO
addresses to preclude all the time I'd have to invest in international
shipping documents.
If I don't get this unit spoken for by Monday 1/29 I'll be putting it on
eBay.

ELN was a real time framweork for stand alone applications that was
somewhat compatable with VMS filesystem. MDM {microvax diagnostic
monitor} is written on the ELN framework.

Nice basement! What a great haul Richard!

Not if you live in California nowadays! :-)
Have fun with all of it! That's what can be great about our hobby (a.k.a.
affliction) ;-)

Hi, does anyone know where I can get hold of Sun monitor cables (ideally
in the UK)? I have four SS2 pizza boxes, an IPX, monitors, keyboards,
mice, and lots of external drives, but no monitor cables! I did get one of
them running after wiring the monitor with individual soldered wires from
connector to connector, and I have also had a couple of them running over
a serial console, but I'd like to get some proper monitor leads so that I
can set them up and sell them as full systems (I want to keep one for my
collection, but the rest are just taking up space that could be used for
other junk, er, classic hardware). They use 13W3 D type connectors, and I
did actually manage to get hold of the connector shells from Farnell, but
they don't seem to be able to get hold of the signal pins for them.
Also, about half of the external SCSI boxes use a weird oversized-D SCSI
connector (I think it might be an early SCSI 1 format) that I haven't been
able to find cables for either. I'm not as bothered about those, but if
anybody knows where I can find them (and adapters to SCSI2, which is what
all the controllers use) cheaply, that would be cool too.

I am actively looking for a working DEC VAX 4000/200 with Open VMS, drives,
SCSI capable and in good repair. It will be used to support an existing VAX
in our system. If anyone has one or can tell me where to find one, I would
appreciate it very much.
