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 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 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 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.
