Oh, how I'd love to get my grubby paws on that Dynabyte. :-|

uh oh. The machine has 16MB; if I completely replace the SIMMs
with the ones I have (assuming they fit this beast) then it will
have 32MB.

Hans pointed out that not just any MCA card will do; it has to be
specifically for RS6k.

Here's something I go some time ago (years ago, probably 1988) that I have
absolutely NO use for an the recent talk about calcs has me wondering if
anyone might want to add this to their collection, or has an actual use for
it. It's a Radio Shack EC-4075 "Programmer's Hex and Time Calculator",
catalog number 65-990. It's in good clean shape but no docs, box or
anything else. It's fully finctional too - has batteries (2xAA) in it and
showing the date and time right now. It's just excess and it's bound to get
damaged around here or set in a drawer where the batteries will undoubtedly
leak and ruin it. Size is 3" wide, 5" long and 1" at the thickest point.
Make me an offer. It will ship without the batteries though to save weight
and prevent damage. Weight is probably a pound packed and would be shipped
in bubble wrap in a sturdy box. Not sure if it would be cost effective to
ship overseas but the US and Canada are alright for sure.
Be reasonable on offers, $1 is not reasonable. My wife bought this for me
back then and while I forget what it cost then I know it wasn't a $5 item.
Contact me direct if interested at rhblakeman(a)kih.net

If I don't find a smaller PS tomorrow, that's probably what I'll do. The
thing is I'd kind of like to keep the one I have intact to use for something
else.
On a positive note, yesterday I tracked the system freezes down to 'kdm'
(the KDE version of xdm) and then discovered there was also a daily cronjob
set to run at 12:15am that would also lock up the system. So I've corrected
those problems (removed them actually since I don't have any use for either)
and now have the board running happily with only a HD and Monitor plugged in
(and I don't see any problem disconnecting the monitor, if nothing else I've
got a plug I can stick in to make it think it still has one).
So, I'm down to needing to get a VT100 out of storage tomorrow if I can find
the time.

It does use a 6845, and it does still run at 60Hz. At least, the ones I've
worked on are 60Hz and I think the 4000 series did too; I don't know if
that changed in any later models.
