Wow, what a day...
Today (erm, well, yesterday now), I have collected 2x HP1000 machines (c/w
4 free-standing disks & 1 line printer), one 700 (can't remember if that's
a HP1000 model or not), and a whole stack of tapes & disc packs &
documentation. Woohoo! Thanks Tim!
Sadly, we weren't able to save a 3rd HP1000, as the van was already showing
serious signs of being overloaded with the gear that was in there - backing
into my shed, it was actually running over its own mudflaps...
I forgot my digicam, so there's no pics yet. Hopefully, when I'm up north
next I'll take a few snaps (and try to get at least one of the boxes booted).
And now, I'm officially knackered, g'night!

Sounds like an Apple //c with the Monitor //c (monochrome monitor that Apple
sold for it). Not very rare or very valuable. Ebay has an auction for a
monitor //c (Item #2302608656), currently at $10.00 US. An Apple //c is also
for auction on eBay (item #2302671100), currently at $26.00 US. This will
give you a sense of the computer's worth. I am sure that a unit with lots of
accessories, software, etc. and in excellent condition, will bring more.

Perhaps this is slightly off topic.. (If so, someone say something, and
I'll hush..)
I was down in the basement when I stumbled across my box of moldy old
software, (mostly pre-1995 IBM PC oriented stuff) and thought to myself,
"Hmmm, maybe I should put these up on a bookshelf instead of letting
them rot down here."
Anyways, upon pulling them out of said box, I noticed a number of the
boxes had become fairly squished/dented/etc.. (Next time pack them
better. :-/ )
Any body ever try to "restore" old software/computer boxes? Got any
tips?
Thanks,
David
hey folks,
I've just missed a great ebay auction for Multia spare parts, does anyone
have some multia accessories they might sell/trade? I'm looking mainly
for floppy drive with cable and pci riser card with 2.5" connection (and
external scsi cable).
My multia has also burned videocard, so eventually a whole multia box
(with the above included) might be of use as well. If your box doesn't
have battery or burned the chip on the botton (common problem, afaik),
this doesn't really matter, I'm able to fix this.
Thanks in advance,

I have a VAX 11/750 machine with a TU80 controller in it. I also have a
TU81+ tape drive. I know the TU81+ is supposed to be connected to a KLESI
controller. But can a TU81+ be connected to the TU80 controller (only doing
1600 then of course)? And if not, does anyone have a Unibus KLESI for sale?
Kees.

Unlikely. However, it might be a standard serial port that you can hook a
terminal to, and see what happens. Other than that, I'd suggest a look at
the Network UPS Tools pages at http://www.exploits.org/nut/ I know it's
not Windows (though there's a client called WinNUT), but it will at least
give you an idea what to try and what to expect.

Short answer (top-posted, sorry): i have a kit and a readme somewhere
which allowes net.boot and net.install of Ultrix off any machine that
runs Unix. I even ported it to NT :) (just for phun, obviously).
Basically, you need:
- 200M disk space
- packet filter in kernel
- my new MOP Server
That'll boot anything, including the Ultrix install set.
Contact me offlist for more info.

Sorry, in the time I've got I don't see any links for the actual
Ultrix OS installation guide. But that's what would walk you
through setting up an RIS server -- hopefully that tip will get
you a little closer.
Good luck,

You can setup an Ultrix machine with suitable disk space to be
a Remote Installation Server (RIS), or is it referred to as the
Remote Installation Service? Well anyway, there's a ton of steps
in the Ultrix admin guides explaining how to set the box up as a
bootp/tftp server, how to set up a filesystem with the Ultrix
software "sets," et cetera. I don't think I have that binder
around, but perhaps Google can help...
This link will at least explain what RIS is and how it works,
though the whole document is focused on setting up RIS on a box
running Digital Unix:
