Hello, all:
I'm doing some spring cleaning (six months late) and I'm offering
this stuff up to the list first. Items are as-is and last status, if
remembered, is listed. I know that a few are pretty common, but I feel bad
about just pitching them into the dumpster without at least offering them up
first. I may ultimately resort to selling some on eBay if no one wants them.
Some items are heavy and would need a local pickup. My location is
Nassau County, New York (Long Island).
Here's the …
[View More]list:
* MacPortable (non-backlit). Working when last used, with spare
batteries, desktop charger and carrying case. Screen has a line of bad
pixels near the bottom.
* PC/Convertible. Working although battery is shot. I believe that I
have boot disks for this, too.
* PC Portable. Working; very clean. Very heavy (really a PC with a
handle). Comes with some software but I haven't taken a complete inventory.
Might be shippable by UPS.
* DEC MicroVAX 1 in tower case with spare parts (including RD52
drives and spare boards). Working last time I used it 3 years ago. Has
Ultrix v.4 on it (no distribution disks unfortunately). Very heavy. Pickup
only.
* 3 Pentium Pro 200 MHZ/256k CPUs. Unmatched steppings (SL22V,
SL22T, SL22M). When using in an SMP configuration, steppings should be the
same. I ran into this when setting-up the dual-CPU ProLiant server at home.
* Apple Ethernet CS card (part number M3065Z/A) for late-model Macs.
* Promise Technologies EIDE4030T caching IDE card for VL bus. As I
recall, this was the "bee's knees" of IDE cards in the 486 era.
* Spare Kilobaud magazines: 12/78, 1/79
* Spare BYTE magazines: 12/77, 1/78, 1/81, 6/81, 7/81, 11/81, 12/81,
1/82,
10/83, 9/85, 10/85 (2), 2/86, 6/86, 10/86, 11/86, 9/87, 10/87
Payment? Trade or cost of shipping. Here's what I'm looking for:
* S-100 video board with docs/SW.
* Ciarcia SB180 single-board computer.
* Altair documents/manuals for my Altair32 emulation project
(reminder,
http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/~rcini/classiccmp/Altair32.htm)
* Broken arcade game in upright cabinet with monitor (horizontal
configuration;
for MAME project). Will have to work something out on the
shipping due to its
size and weight. This one probably best if local.
* Plastic case for the KIM-1
* 6502 pod for Fluke 9010A troubleshooter
* 6502-related magazines
* Other??
Please contact me off-list at xyzzy_r_cini(a)nospam.optonline.net
(remove xyzzy, underscores and nospam.) if anyone's interested.
Thanks.

Does anyone in this group know of a vendor/source that sells/ships the TED
chips, 8501R1 - I have a few plus/4's with bad processors. Please email
billdeg(a)degnanco.com. I know that they are hard to find, but I have hope
that some one here may have a contact. I could buy another plus/4 from
Ebay, but I would like to avoid this.

Is there actually a demand for these kinds of things anyway? I happen to
work at the company known as the former CDC and we have a lot of this stuff
around...in fact, we still support a lot of it. The Cyber 675 is still in
use!
Would this stuff be worthwhile trying to rescue from the 'scrap heap'? I
also have lots of CDC branded merchandise...

Damn. I assumed Jay was referencing an ad for someone's wife
on ePay. What disappointment to only find a DCD drive on there.
Jay... your wording is starting to scare me... go out more often :)
Cheers,
Fred

I added descriptions to the pictures and integrated the VCF 6 stuff with
the rest of my site. Feel free to check out
www.vintage-computer.com/vcf6.shtml and please let me know what you
think, especially if I missed something, misidentified someone or
otherwise messed up.
The show was truly awesome this year. I can't wait to hear the
attendance numbers from Sellam. I'm pretty sure records were broken.
The displays were amazing, as always, and the computers were incredible
as well. It's fun …
[View More]to realize that you were in the same building as 3 of
the maybe 30 or 40 remaining Apple Is in existence. There were two
equally rare Mark-8s in attendance and several other machines that you
just don't see every day.
Thanks!

Didn't anybody answer this? I've got a small Apple ][ card which might
be its twin...
Mine says "APPLE 2/3 XEBEC INTERFACE REV1" on the …
[View More]top edge. It has a
6522 VIA chip, some LSTTL, 2732 EPROM, a RAM chip, a couple of 74S240s,
and a terminator pack next to a 26-pin header. I don't know what this
is supposed to connect to; it might be SASI (it has just about enough
pins and just about enough I/O), and that's certainly what Xebec were
famous for.

Isn't this used for the Sider hard drive? If so, I have both parts but just
need a cable.
