IBM 5324

by geoffreythomas＠onetel.net.uk

I sent a post for this item some time back but haven't seen it on the forum. Perhaps it got lost. Anyway I have a complete system - Ibm 5324, keyboard,monitor, 5242 printer and a stack of manuals and 8" floppies taking up room in my shed. Does anyone want any of these before I dispose of them - I know Tarsi posted in June for info but he didn't reply to my email - assuming my email got there. Geoff.

Bulk Erase 8" floppies

by Edward.Tillman＠valero.com

If you happen to have an old x86 laying around (286sx - 486dx), with DOS 5 or earlier, your format command will tell you the types/capacities of floppies available, and the switches required to format them properly. A simple chkdsk command run on the FD will tell you what you actually have. Prior to HD, I don't believe any of the disks were marked with type/size. However, HD and DD (DSHD 720Kb & DSDD 1.44Mb) are both marked on the disk housing on the top foreward right corner -- top foreward right as inserted into the drive -- right next to the spring-loaded media cover. The cover, itself, may also contain the disk capacity in KB or MB, but that's also usually found in later model disks... Cheers...

Help! Too much stuff, but love all of it :-)

by gunther＠aurora.regenstrief.org

Help! I can't work with any of my gear any more because it's all in the way! But I really do like it all. Anyway, I will have to let go of something. There is that HP 9000 K class machine with Ethernet, FDDI, dual DDS2 tape drive and RAID disk array, all in a nice setup, original with HP-UX and an HP term. Not too loud and not too slow. Nice useable UNIX system. So beautiful, but I don't know where to put it and be able to do something with it. Then the DEC 7000. What a beautiful machine! What a nice sound! It's got plenty of CPU and memory and SCSI and all but still I can't use it, or if I do I can't work on my VAX 11/780, which is the main thing I want to do. I am thinking about selling to recoup some of my costs, but then, before I sell for a rediculously low price I'd rather give it away or trade. I still want a VAX 4000 - 700 or 105A in a pedestal as my last addition to the family. That would be a trade. If you want some of it, make an offer in $$ or machine or parts. I still need some PDP-8/A parts, memory, power supply, or an RA60 drive, or VAX 11/780 cabinet remains (delivered to my door.) This is not a OBO by next Saturday kind of sale, but if you are interested you're welcome to make an offer. I am in Indianapolis. -Gunther

3 Phase converter

by tothwolf＠concentric.net

I came across this on eBay and figured there might be some interest in such a unit here. The seller does recommend against using the unit for three phase electronics, but I dunno if he would consider big-iron to be in that category or not ;) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2558575867 Not affiliated with seller, etc, etc... -Toth
