Looking for a new home.
All items in very good conditions.

Just wanted to poke my head out and say "yes, I'm still alive". Wife had
last (hopefully) surgery thursday and came home sunday. Now I'm a full time
care-giver for the next couple months (much like the previous couple
months). Once this has passed, I'll be back here regularly. My apologies to
all for many unanswered emails, due to all the above something had to give
for a while and it was classiccmp. If someone needs me, best to email me
directly for a while. Don't get too off-topic-happy, moderators are watching
;)
I have had many people wanting to give away gear, I will post those to the
list momentarily.
Today I was given the following by a friend of a friend... he dropped it off
and all so I had to make room for it. Three Northstar Horizon systems,
complete with wood trim, boxes of Northstar docs & disks. They all appear to
be in very good condition. Also got two Hazeltine 1420 terminals with
dustcovers in mint condition. Guess some day I get to learn about S-100
stuff and CPM :)
Back to your regularly scheduled programming....

OK, so I found the Pertec stuff on bitsavers, but I haven't read
through their docs yet.
I purchased a Fujitsu 2444 tape drive that has a Pertec interface.
($0.99 on ebay with local pickup!) Apparently all the newer tape
drives have Pertec + SCSI or just SCSI.
Is Pertec similar enough to SCSI that I could rig up a dongle?
If not, how hard is it to find a Pertec interface for:
- VAXserver 4000
- PDP-11 Q-bus
- Sun 3 w/expansion chassis
- PCI/ISA
So that I could get the drive into a usable state?
I found a place that had Pertec interfaces for ISA based systems, but
it would not work with Windows 2000 or later OS, the cards were out of
stock and were pretty pricey (like $500+).
So what would y'all recommend as the easiest/cheapest way to get this
baby up and running?
Also -- the power cord has a non-standard 3-prong plug. I'll try to
get photos of this up somewhere for reference, but perhaps someone
knows the kind of cord this thing needs so I can know what to look
for?

Hi,
I see that gold-snipper has listed a pile of old IBM unit-record and
DASD equipment on eBay. (The category is Vintage Computing Products
=> IBM.)
The prices are not low, but then again it is working stuff, not scrap.
Looks like he's got a 4381 and all the trimmings.

(I'm not him, and I don't collect mainframe equipment, so you probably
now know more about it than I do.)
We are looking for an Altos 1000 Series Computer with 386 or 486 Processor, and parts too.

Would anyone have a set of rack slides for the 11/24? The ones for this huge box (BA-11A) appear to have some kind of pivot as well as the usual slide mechanism.
thanks

Michel Bel, based in the Netherlands and one of a few people offering HP
200LX palmtop parts and repairs, has put his web site onto an HP 200-based
server. The 200LX, which first came out in 1994, has an 80186 processor
(overclocked to 25mHz) and uses MS-DOS 5. The site has good response speed
-- it is interesting what can be done with minimal hardware.
