I'm not sure this is quite 10 years old, but....
I have an HP Apollo 9000/735 with the infamous HIL kbd/mouse port.
I've been running the thing headless since I got it because I can't
bring myself to pay the asking price for the "Localization Kits" out
there.
I've run across references to & pictures of an adapter that converts
HP-HIL to 2 PS/2 ports. Does anyone have the pinouts/schematic for this
critter? Or have one they don't want?
Aquiring minds just want.

Last weekl someone was asking about the greatest number of bit slice
CPUs that they'd ever seen on a card. I know this isn't the record but
today I picked up two card with six 2901s on them. The surprise is that
there's also an 8008 on the same card!

Sounds like some sort of 24 bit processor (SEL ?)
DEC floating point processor boards for the 11/34 and 44 have a
bunch.
Magnetic Peripherals made the CDC 9" drive line 9715 IIRC.
Could be a tester for that. Look at the cables. They should be SMD. (26 pin &
60 Pin)
I think it is worth saving but I have none of the drives any more.

Hi guys.
I'm seriously considering (to the point of looking for a shipping
arrangement) picking up that Prime system that was offered here
recently.
Any ideas? The system is in Waltham Mass, and I'm in Champaign,
IL.
I'd love to hear from somebody going this direction sometime soon,
otherwise, what is a good shipping company to use? I would have
to arrange pickup and delivery, myself, which I've never done
before, so assume I know nothing about this.
Also, U-Haul probably isn't a desirable option. :)

What: a 20 foot construction dumpster being loaded at this moment (8:00 AM

They're literally tossing them into the dumpster. :(

Oh boy! What did I do! I was just trying to make up an example of
dumb-ass electricians! At least this thread does relate to Classic Computer

Who's to say that all wiring is done in a manner compliant with
residential electric code? ;)
It's better to be safe, especially where electricity is concerned.

I went back downstairs at about 9:00, and a trash picker was _tossing_ PC's
into the bed of his beat-up pickup, which he had backed up next to the
dumpster. Went back out at 11:00, and the dumpster had been hauled away.
Probably land fill by now :(

AT the very least, some of the MCA boards, drives, memory, and power
supplies could be useful to some people.
Hrm, that's nearly a complete system isn't it? ;)

Again, this wasn't exactly their fault, and they did do their
best to fix the problem with the indy, which is likely to have
been caused by shipping. In the other case, I purchased the
LD player with the understanding that since they had no LDs to
check it, I had to buy it as is.

Slow... can't argue with that, but having worked with
volunteer organizations in the past, I can understand that
they're likely to be way understaffed. I wouldn't equate
slow service with poor service, though.
> What's _Your_ time worth, anyway?
Whatever I make of it. As I said, the misdelivery was probably
an exceptional case. I'm satisfied that they did their best to
correct the problem, and I'm certainly willing to try them again.
