IBM System 23

>How heavy/large are they? Considering the 8" floppy drives, they're >pretty large I'm sure, but does someone have a guestimate? 50lbs? 100lbs? >200lbs? (specifically the all-in-one units) I just left work, so I can't put one on a scale, but I am going to say off memory, in excess of 50 pounds. But not in the 200 range (one person can carry one, but they are heavier than your average workgroup laser printer). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

>I don't think there's much money in them. The problem is size. Things >that big and heavy don't generally fetch much on eBay, and they're not >compelling enough to overcome that problem. That's kind of what I was thinking would be a problem. I haven't put one on a scale, but I know the all in one model is a heavy beast (I'm going to guess in the range of 50+ pounds... light by the standards of many of the machines discussed here, but heavy when looking at shipping it somewhere) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

List of interesting stuff was RE: Time to share a source - W.J.Ford Surplus

by comproaz＠earthlink.net

Hello! While doing a Google search i found your page. Am looking to find information on HP 88140C 16 track tape cartridges for the HP 9144. Can they be used for anything else? Do they have a market other than the 9144 as I have a box of Sealed 5 x 600ft tapes and don't quite know what to do with them or how to market them? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Recent Spam and new classiccmp server status

by r.stek＠snet.net

Jay- First, thank you for taking on this task. I only read the posts every few days using the digest format, so I am VERY supportive of your two list solution if it can be worked out. I am sure that as I scan the digest and quickly skip over the OT posts I am missing some stuff of interest, but there are only so many hours in the day. Your proposed solution will make my reading much less time-consuming and more enjoyable and possibly allow me to respond and post a little more frequently myself. FWIW, I would support a more actively moderated single list, but that is just my preference. Bob Stek Saver of Lost Sols

VAX VMS 7.2 hobbyist CD

by bob_lafleur＠technologist.com

I don't know if this is an appropriate place to post this, so please forgive me if I have made an error. I am looking for a copy, or a downloadable ISO image of the VAX VMS 7.2 hobbyist CD. This CD was previously available for order, but is now sold out. I E-mailed to the link on the VAX hobbyist page, and they told me that I can still obtain my own hobbyist license (which I have done) and borrow someone else's CD for installation. To me, this means that they don't mind the media being copied (as it's no longer available anyway) as long as each user still registers their own license. I don't expect anyone would be willing to make an ISO image of it available to the public. But, if someone could put it on a server somewhere and E-mail me a private link for download, that would be super. Or, if you're willing to snail mail me a copy, I'll pay your media and shipping costs. Thanks. - Bob Lafleur Springfield, MA

Question about Data General One power

by vcf＠siconic.com

Is the power connector on the Data General one a DC input? Judging by the icon next to it, I think it is: - - - ----- Just wanted to make sure. If so, does someone have a spare power supply to trade, or know what the specs are? Thanks. -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org * Old computing resources for business and academia at www.VintageTech.com *

Madge ISA Token NICs

by mythtech＠mac.com

>OK, this is on topic since the technology is over 10 years old, ISA is over >ten years old and the cards are more than likely also over ten years old. I >am looking for at least one, possibly more, Madge ISA Token Ring NICs - >hopefully of the Blue series. Anyone out there know where I could get some? >I really don't want to deal with eBay where they are about $8 US plus $6 >shipping (kinda excessive per card). I have the following Token Ring cards still in inventory: 11 - IBM, Auto 16/4 Token Ring, ISA, RJ45 DB9 08 - IBM, Auto 16/4 Token Ring, ISA, RJ45 13 - IBM, 16/4, ISA, RJ45 DB9 08 - IBM, 16/4 Token Ring, Microchannel, DB9 04 - IBM, 16/4, ISA, DB9 03 - IBM, Turbo 16/4 Token Ring, ISA, RJ45 DB9 01 - Intel, M#770400331 16/4, ISA, RJ45 DB9 01 - Madge, Smart 16/4 AT Plus Ringnode, ISA, RJ45 DB9 I used to have more than the one Madge, but I gave the others away to someone on this list already. You can have any or all of the above for the cost of shipping (and if you want to toss me a few bucks as well I won't object, but it isn't a requirement). All the cards are untested. They were removed from machines that were never under my care, so I don't know if they work or not, but I would guess they do, since they were removed during a mass migration to Ethernet... but like I said, they weren't under my control, and I haven't tested them, so you get what you get. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
