request for shipping help - PDP-11/34 from MA to MO

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

Greetings folks: Bob Shannon has a PDP-11/34 rack system for me in Massachusetts sitting in his garage. I can take care of having it shipped from any location that has a loading dock, so the shipping isn't a problem as long as it is shipped sometime within the next week or two at most. However, the shipper will want it banded to a pallet and shrinkwrapped and Bob doesn't have the stuff to do that, nor does he have a loading dock. Is there anyone who might be able to assist getting the system banded to a pallet and shrinkwrapped, and possibly to a loading dock that the shipper will pick up from? Any thoughts or assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Jay West

NABU! and VT180

by kenziem＠sympatico.ca

After hearing about them for quite a while I found them. I picked up a few NABU computers and the adapters still in the box. Also a VT180 with disks and manuals. I though last weekend was good when I grabbed a Sparcstation SLC, ELC, and a PSC-586VGA SBC for a buck each.

Power Cords (Was: RE: Micro$oft Biz'droid Lusers (was: OT email response format)")

I have finally figured out what the dealieo is with this... I've got so many it's as if two or three came with every device. But I was the one who unpacked almost everything at the office for the last 6 years. So what's happening is that they are reproducing. I think you're safe with just two in a box, they're not bunnies, but when you put three or more together, they gain some kind of sexual critical mass and start reproducing. Everything that's been given away had a power cord, and almost nothing has been thrown away. So this has got to be the answer... ;)

Mac SE PC Drive Card

by mythtech＠mac.com

>> I picked up another Mac SE today, and it's got a "Macintosh SE PC Drive >> Card" installed in it, with a big connector on the back of the SE. What is >> the card for? > >'A big connector'??? What is it really? How many pins, how arranged. Is >it, for example, a DC37 socket? I was going to say I thought it was a 27 pin from memory, but a 37 pin D shell sounds about right. Apple bundled the card with a drive, but that drive might just be a regular drive in an apple case. How would I be able to determine that? (I don't mind opening mine to check if it means the other guy can benifit from the info and assemble a drive to use with their card) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

adflip.com

by vcf＠siconic.com

I wonder if this adflip.com site (the one that has the classic magazine advertisements) isn't setup by one of those guys that sells old magazine ad pages on eBay. It would make sense. -- 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 *
