Today I met up with a gentleman from Kirkland, WA (Ian Greenhoe, who knows at least one of the moderators on this list) who needed to
pare down his collection due to domestic pressure.
HE STILL HAS some stuff, complete HP/Apollo 9000/700 systems with monitors/keyboards if anyone is interested - give me an e-mail and I can pass it on
Anyway, I got a bunch of Sun stuff, including a Sun 3/60 with mono monitor, keyboard, etc. just needs a monitor cable - contact me if you're interested I can't keep it.
One of the machines happened to be a ComputerVision CADDstation (Sun 3/160 [looks like], with several customish looking cards and fancy graphics). I think this came up
recently, so when I know a bit more I can post it.
The BIG good news is a box of disttapes (~60, haven't been through them yet but it includes ComputerVision stuff, SunOS 3.2 & some Sun unbundled stuff)
and 2 boxes of docs. I'm trying to figure out best way to get them scanned, need to inventory them, etc. I only have 2 boxes now, but will have the third.
Anyway, I need homes for (1) almost complete Sun 3/60 with monitor and keyboard, nice condition but one of the VME ejectors is broken.
and
(1) Siilicon Graphics Indy R5000SC/150 XL-8
If anyone wants the HP 9000/700s I can forward an E-mail
things that might be of interest, but might not:
1 PeeCee AT- class full tower case
all in the Seatle area
Does anyone have any experience with c64reloaded.com? I'm curious as
they seem to be the only US based seller that has MMC64's.

The controller and drive maintenance manuals, and schematics.
There isn't a spec that I know of that ever made it outside of DEC.
From memory, the control interface is synchronous serial data.
This was on comp.os.vms in case anyone here doesn't read it :
We have some old uVAXen that have an appointment with a trash compactor

Hi everyone,
I just made a frappr map for PDP11 owners. Put your machines in the
shoutout, and we can see where everyone is and what we have ;)
The URL is: http://www.frappr.com/pdp11owners
See you there!

This may or may not help, but I have used a 1542c with imagedisk to create
mixed density floppies. Others have then used these to successfully create
new images.
I have at least 3 controllers that will work at SD with imagedisk. I have
tried ID in single density with about 15 different floppy controllers, and
have one more to test. Is there a FAQ about what controllers will write SD
images? If not, I'd gladly maintain a list.

I could also use an optional lower tray (that sits underneath the printer)
for a Laserjet 4. I've you've got one, shoot me an E-mail.

I'm looking for a duplex unit that works with an HP Laserjet 4 Plus or 4M
(HP C3157A). If anyone's got a dead Laserjet 4 with a duplex unit that
they're willing to part with, please E-mail me off-list. Thanks.
