I've been cleaning out my storage shed and getting rid of some the HP equipment that I still have around. I just listed a HP 9000 220 computer, a 9000 217 computer, a HP 9133B hard drive with HP BASIC Version 5 and HP 8753 network analyzer software installed and a HP 9122 C floppy drive on E-bay. All working and in good condition. See <http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=rigdonj>.

>Hoping to find a PCjr show up here is probably impossible.
I thought I offered the PCjr to the list when I saw it there. No one
responded, although the price they were asking seemed steep. $12.50 IIRC,
for JUST the PCjr. No power brick, no keyboard, no monitor. Although it
did have the parallel port sidecar.
Alas, I only have one PCjr left myself, and I'm hanging on to that one. I
had 50 or so a number of years ago, but they were all donated to a local
school system. I might have an extra monitor left however, but I'm not
sure. I should still have some PCjr video to CGA pigtails, but they are
all home made (not by me, but by another employee here), and I think
someone on this list posted the pinouts for such an adaptor some time
back.

Hi all,
unfortunatelly one of my two RD54 hd (by Maxtor) in my mvaxII kept doing
strange sounds at startup. It isn't coming on line as before, now it takes a
lot of time while a continuous noisy sound comes from it, and after it seems
sufferig of read problems at bootup.
Any info/advices about RD54 and it's strange sounds will be greatly
appreciated.

Yeah, that's what the one near me does. They won't even take them in
anymore. What's worse is, they will take all the parts... just not the
CPU. So they breakdown otherwise complete systems.
Although, I am humored when the occasional computer makes it thru, like
the other day they had a PCjr. It just shows that they know nothing about
the stuff. If it doesn't look like a modern WinTel box, they don't seem
to recognize it.

>$100 is fair.
WOW! I can't believe Sellam of all people over priced this bundle.
$100 is very generous for what is listed. Unless there are some really
unusual monitors or software/manuals, then I don't think the lot is worth
more than about $20, and that is more as a "thanks for letting me have
it" gesture.
I have aquired everything mentioned above (catagorically, obviously I
don't have specifics on the monitors, drives, software, manuals), from
the curbside garbage in the last six months.
There could be things that bump the value up a bit. Such as the IIc being
truely brand new never opened (and not just clean and reboxed). If the
IIgs are Rom 0 units (or Woz units), and if the monitors or hard drives
are large (20" monitors, and 10+ gig drives). The software and manuals,
unless it is current release stuff, exotic hard to find stuff, or things
you care about owning real copies of (vs abondonware copies), then it is
of little value.
Bear in mind, even if there are parts that pump up the value, you need to
overcome the $20 "thank you" price first, so you start at $0 and go up,
not start at $20 and go up.

My name is at the top of the list for a Stratus high availability server that
is going out of service.
Is there anyone here interested in these machines?
This has dual G86010 cpu's, expansion cabinet. It was recently in use as a
test switch for an ATM network.
There is a second machine that will be available in a years time.
Is it a simple task to switch a machine from 220 20a to run off household
current 110 15a?
I have an orginal Compaq luggable (green screen) and a Portable III
(orange/amber plasma screen) that are under foot. If you can pick them up
in Nebraska, they're yours. If you want me to ship them, I'll let
Mailboxes Etc. do the packing and shipping, so it won't be cheap. Both
work fine and are in excellent condition. The III is like new; I replaced
the old plasma screen (which was badly burned in and faded) just before I
quit using it. It also has a removable "backpack" on it with two ISA card
slots for network cards or whatever. First come, first served.

What

It probably means you have one of the ones with an incandescant bulb,
not an LED, and the bulb has burnt out. That's a common problem, and
easy to fix by replacing the bulb with an LED and dropper resistor.

I know of someone who is looking to dispose of a HP7850B plotter, stands
about 4ft tall, prints on A0 paper. Located, I think, in Norfolk.
If anyone is interested, let me know ASAP, and I'll get the chap to grab
hold of it.
