FA: HP 9153 with BASIC, 9000 200 computers, 9122C drives

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

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>. Joe

Locating older systems & parts... (was: RE: making disk images)

by cb＠mythtech.net

>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. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

DEC RD54 from Maxtor

by franco.tassone＠inwind.it

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. ... Franco Tassone

Locating older systems & parts... (was: RE: making disk images)

by cb＠mythtech.net

>Where I am now, most of the Salvation Army/Goodwill thrifts have big "NO >COMPUTERS!!!" signs out front so they won't even take them in just to toss >them. 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. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

fair price for apple articles

by cb＠mythtech.net

>> 2 Apple II GS, a IIc (claimed to be new in box), a Mac Plus, couple monitors, >> external floppy and hard drives and "scads of software and manuals". > >$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. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

Stratus and 220V

by kenziem＠sympatico.ca

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?

Compaq Portable & Portable III Free to a Good Home

by bill＠timeguy.com

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.

PDP-11/34 PSU Yet Again

That's a common problem, and easy to fix by replacing the bulb with an LED and dropper resistor. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
