You only saw one module and one FC-RAID box; there's a second one at
work, in the proper O2K rack with some more PCI cards, a couple of XIO
cards, an Origin Vault, and a bunch more Craylink cables.

I may have a spare CPU module.

I'll try to remember to count my keyboards and see if I have a spare.

I'll remember you said that if I need to find space to keep the O2K
rack :-)

Depends. Several departments have SGIs of their own, which they keep
running even though we no longer provide support for them, as of this
summer. They're mostly Indys and a few O2s, but there's the odd Power
Challenge etc. We have a bunch of O2s which were classroom machines,
and were retired in the summer, but I'm not sure yet what will happen
to them. I might be able to get you one or two. They're low-spec,
though: R5K-180, 4GB disks, mostly only 64MB RAM. Most of us in
CompServ who have O2s are keeping them :-)

I've been looking for one of those for several years, too.

Hello,
Sorry to beat this old horse again, but did anybody set up a
repository for M9312 boot images since the last discussion?
(I actually went to look for them in www.classiccmp.org/M9312, and
Pete's DECROM repository doesn't seem to have the 23-xxxA9 M9312
roms)
I need some of them, specifically the DU, DX, and DY.
Question:
Is the DY (supposed for RX02) able to boot RX01s too?

Wuz at apex today, I mentally noted the HP stuff tyhat's been
there forever.
Manuals for 9600c (binder 9), a bunch (4? 8?) 9825 manuals and
software, basic, pascal, etc, plus a "terminal emulator" with
a set of cartridges/tapes in plastic page holders in a binder.
I don't have enough cash riught now to front this stuff. It's
where all the manuals are. Plus, if you go to buy them all once,
the price will skyrocket, as per standard surplus culture,
so you'll have to go and take one, two at a time, etc.
That Tek repackaged PDP11 thing is still there too. 8" floppy and
a 8" hard disk. No monitor present. Looks clean. I wrote about it
before; I don't recall the model, but search for 'apex' and tomj
in archives.

At least around here (northern NJ), I still see greenbar in the office
supply stores from time to time. Usually just one case, sitting, well
beaten, in the corner by the rest of the paper.

I looked in my intel 1990 book and it looks just like the ISBC 80/24A card in
the book with a 8085-2 processor and ISBX connectors for the Mezz card.
Normally the card has edge card connectors on top. It looks like someone
soldered header connectors to the edgecard ones.
I just got an Intel 80-10 rackmount chassis with a 80/10 processor (8080
chip), a National Semiconductor 2 port memory card, an analog devices RTI 1200 and
an intel SBC-108 combination mem & I/O expansion. Looks like it needs some
cleaning to get it fired up.

rah! Rummaging through the piles of HP stuff today on the offchance that
there were any Apollo bits paid off. Unearthed four DN3000 series
machines in a box complete with three mice and Domain keyboards - that
explains where the stray Domain keyboard I found the other week must
have come from!
Two of the machines are (strangely) missing fronts, and one's just
badged as a 3000 whilst the other is a 3010. All appear to have disks
(hopefully they have all the necessary boards too). I'll have access to
a van tomorrow so I'll shift them up to the museum and take a look
inside...
No sign of manuals or install media yet, but I'm only about a third of
the way through the pile.
Also, what the heck's an HP 2115A? Found one earlier all nicely boxed
and wrapped up, plus possibly a second one (it's too buried under more
modern HP stuff to get to it yet!). Looks like a rather nice machine!
Perfect condition too - I'll take that up to the museum tomorrow too so
it's all nice and cosy :)
cheers

www.trailing-edge.com has been down for 2 Days.
Not that I desperately need anything from there, but it's unusual.
Has anybody heard from Tim Shoppa?
