Subject: 3 PDP-11s in working order
Hi
We are about to throw out 3 PDP-11s, with tape drives,
which were in working order when they were powered off,
together with some Versatect Printers. They should all
still be in working order.
We are based at London Heathrow, UK.
If you are interested, or know of anyone who would be
interested in these machines (in order to save them from
the tip), please let me know as soon as possible.
If you do want them, I think you will need a tail lift
truck, and you must remove ALL the equipment in one visit.
You (or the person who wants it) must also agree not to
make any BA programs or BA data which can found or
recovered from the machines available to anyone, or use it
in any way or for any purpose. We have a lift which is
capable of carrying the PDPs down to ground level.
Best Regards
Aris.

If anyone knows anything about the Panasonic KX-D4910 portable data terminal please let me know. I would also like to know what emulation can be used like it. I still need to use one of these to program an older phone system. Thanks.

That reminds me - I forgot to list my GRiDcase 3 as well.. It has 2 10 meg
hard drives, a battery, a charger, a power pack and the original GRiD laptop
bag :-)

A good magician never reveals his secret; the unbelievable trick
becomes simple and obvious once it is explained. So too with LINUX!
The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a
dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.

A "finstrate" is a board (any board, CPU, IOP or memory) in the
processor card cage. What's in there?

Today I picked up a Leading Edge Technical Reference manual and
diagnostics diskette at a thrift store in great shape with blank
warranty card in jacket.
Got a donation of a SPARCstation 2 with keyboard, mouse, special metal
mousepad, 19" color monitor, external hard drive (two in the case), and
all the cables. The unit fires up and is loaded but the battery is dead.
I have just finished listing a bunch of HP Journals on E-bay. Several of
them contain articles about the HP 9815 and 9825 calculators, HP 2100
computers and other items of interest to this group. I will be listing more
of them tomorrow including at least one issue full of articles about the HP
25 and other Woodstock calculators. You can see the complete list at
"http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems&u

I picked up a SWTP central processing unit, model /09. What is this? It has a
SWTP cpu card (MP-09B) with a 2 MHz MC68B09P, a Hazelwood card marked DM-64 and
a Microworks card with an MC68B21P on it. The MicroWorks card has wires through
the rear of the case. It also has 3 serial and 1 parallel cards. The Hazelwood
card looks burned a bit on the back side of one transistor. The CPU card looks
ok, but I don't want to power it up without first checking the power supply.
What are the voltages for the power supply? What is the MicroWorks card? Does
anyone have any docs or info for this, maybe a website? Thanks.

Crazy large # of Macs collector, wow. My very modest collection:
Mac
1 x C610/AAUI modified to 28MHz on 68040-25 (not bogus LC040)
1 x Mac II my most recent find, beat all of my for OLDest
machine.
1 x LC III o/c'ed to 33
1 x Performa 466.
Coming: PowerMac 7100 barebones looking for parts to build up this
PM. Offering some of my collection where noted to fund this power
Mac rebuild. Ebay sucks sometimes especially when buying US
cash with worthless canadian funds.
Peecees:
1 x Asus P2B rev1.04 PII 350
1 x Asus P5A w/ bastardized P5A-B bios running unlocked P55C
2.5x100MHz as bench pc to test parts.
1 x Asus A7pro w/ duron 800, mini-vroom!
1 x SLT 286 w/ power brick and 1024K ram module installed, all
working to trade for Mac parts, no battery.
1 x DECpc XL 466d2 unused, empty shell except for PSU, motherboard,
floppy and cpu 486 card.
1 x Aero to trade for power mac parts, request for details on Aero.
1 x TP701.
PS/2s
1 x P75
1 x 70-Axx if u don't know what this suffix means, it's one hotshot
386DX in small desktop box IBM ever made or since in PS/2 era.
1 x complete base 90 XP w/ 256K cache, dx 33 complex w/ latest 4GB
support bios, 64MB, stock scsi card w/ original scsi cable (!!),
looking to trade for PowerMac 6,7,8100 series parts. Best to ship
this 90 in parts minus chassis, too heavy to ship at reasonably cost.
All that in a 20 x 18 bedroom and all other junk and still have space
to walk and sleep comfortably. (!!)
Note, if anybody have 6100, 7100, 8100 PM, all the removeable parts
like ROM simm, PDS cards (HPV etc) and cache stick except for some
items are all same. That 7100 needs a rom stick or complete 7100
motherboard w/ rom stick. Also if anybody have 1MB HPV card to trade
for my parts.
Cheers,
Wizard
