Regarding RFID tags to organize collections
Our x-ray film printers use the tags in the film magazines to identify the film type.
There is an evaluation kit from TI available that lets you read out the unique long
integer stored in each tag and you can program several other user available locations.
I think if connects to the serial port of a PC.
I have "salvaged" several tags and tested them with our ID badge readers, no response.
Each tag is about 2" by 4" and looks like a chip and antenna printed on clear mylar carrier.

I'm in the area near Kansas City, MO. I'm about 130 miles away according to mapquest. I'm willing to help if it can be arranged.
If there were a master list of the stuff and where it's supposed to go then that would be helpful.
I have a few advantages
I work for a hospital and we have lots of packing and boxes left over from computers and biomedical equipment.
I also pick up and drop off stuff at the Surplus Exchange in Kansas City occasionally.
I also have a garage, however I am limited to one of the two bays since my wife's car has to go in.
I have a 17 year old son interested in computers.
I have an oversized ford aerostar van or could borrow a flat bed trailer
I may be able to arrange some time early in October.
The most important thing that I see is that Jim willingly agrees to this and there is not lots of bad feelings involved. I don't want to get in the middle of a bunch of irate people.

My work email account was up to 250 or more by the time I left work
about 20 minutes ago. Our mail server handled about 3500 today, making
it the largest single virus/trojan, by an order of magnitude.
Mailscanner (see http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/ if you
don't know about it) is now set to drop them silently.

A company just contacted me and said they have 12,000(!) reel-to-reel
mag-tapes that they want to dump. They are interested in finding people
who want some. I don't believe they want any money, probably just
shipping. They are all used but erased.
If interested then please get back to me in private and I'll pass on the
contact info.

Even though there are several of us subscribed to the Greenkeys List
(for mechanical teletypes), I have forwarded this because of the fan-fold
paper tape (among the other goodies here)
I recently bought several pieces from Tom (from an earlier offering of
his) and it was packed very well, delivered quickly and in perfect shape,
including the 100-pound Model 28 KSR desk-mount. He's a Good Guy to
deal with...

Hi all,
Anybody in the UK interested in the following:
A Whitechapel MG-1 Cpu, keyboard/mouse and 17" mono monitor. Since
acquiring the machine it has always been on my todo list so has never been
powered on. There are some manuals that go with it, but nothing really
technical just user guides I think.
An Apollo DN3000 Cpu, keyboard, 19" mono monitor. I have a couple of
ethernet cards plus a color graphics card, none of these are plugged in.
Worked last time it was used but that was probably before the clock
rollover in '97! Agaim some manuals, I think mostly programming ones.
I have quite a lot of Sun kit ranging from 2/120 stuff through to IPX's
covering things like two 4/110's, a 3/60, a 3/50, a 386i, SS1+ etc. If
there is any interest in these then let me know and I can give more
details.
Collection from the Cambridge area would be ideal, but I am quite flexible
because I want to clear out this stuff pretty quickly.

Decserver 100's are terminal servers for going from terminals that use
3 wires (rcv,xmt, gnd) to ethernet. The connection is for an AUI, which
normally goes to thick-wire ethernet, but can adapt to normal ethernet.
The biggest problem, as I recall, is they only speak LAT, so if you want
to hook up terminals to something that doesn't run DECNET/LAT you have
a tough time. Of course, us VMS guys don't care.
That's what I remember. Anybody else, please correct me if the memory
is wrong...

There is a 50/50 chance that I will have time tonight to go down to the
datacenter late afternoon/early evening to do the next part of the list
server upgrade. If so, the list server (and the classic computer related
websites it also hosts) would be down hard for at least an hour. After it
comes back up, there will likely be a lot of squirrelyness (is that a word?)
for a few hours afterwards as I find all the little gotchas I forgot to
address.
May not do it tonight, kinda depends on some other variables, but if I DO
get to do it tonight I wanted to let folks know. Damn upgrade is taking time
away from my HP2000 restoration *GRIN*

Does anyone have a spare VT220, 320 or 420 that they'd be willing to part
with? My 320 just bit the dust...very inconvenient time, too, since I was
about to install my brand new OpenVMS hobbyist... :(
Failing that, does anyone know how I can interface another kind of terminal
to my MicroVAX 3100? It's got the MMJ connector on it...maybe if I could
send the output to a wyse 60 that I have lying around...
Cheers,
Chris Cureau
