I don't have any time to research anything about the above pieces. Just tell
me if you want it by 11pm tonight. If you want it, I'll put it in the car,
and when I get to VCFmw it's yours. You must take it, no room on return trip

Try 97500-85620. Actually I think there were a couple of different
versions, and I'm not really familiar with HP nomenclature. FWIW, HP also
sold this drive in some early PCs, for which is used a custom HP controller
card.
Thanks - I appreciate the help!

I'm glad you ignored the rest of what I had to say then. Is there a part number on the drive? I'm finding a lot of conflicting information about the internal workings of the 9153C.

No, Nighthawk. It's a 20 year old, 3-1/2" half height form factor hard

inches, for 100 Kittyhawk drives.

Main unit (64 MB RAM, 2GB HD), external CD Drive. Would need a monitor, mouse, keyboard, scsi cable and CD caddy. Free if you pick it up in Northern New Jersey. I have the video adapter (3W13 to HD 15), but that would cost $15.
Located in Wantage, NJ Close to the PA and NY border.

Great work !!
I own a HSD10, but never got these stupid external DSSI cables. When I opened the shelf once, I thought that such a work could be possible, but I never got into it.
But now, I'll try that out with the help of your guide below. The HSD10 is very similar to the HSD05 in terms of the PCB.

Hi.
Not sure if this is the right email address, but if your still looking for
the FIP16A5R Fluorescent display, I have a few NOS units on hand. Let me
know.
Thanks, Bink

There are still a lot of 2nd hand VAX systems available, but depending
on what you want to spend, it might be hard to get a good working one,
because a lot of them are still used or spared for special programs.
If you would be looking for any manual I could be able to make you a
copy as we are working with VAX ALPHA-computers ourselves. We are
running on VMS version 6.1
Do any of you know how to run/learn/program new ethernet addresses of
other perhipherals into the ALPHA system?
Also we have the following for sale;
We have a lot of INTEL iRMX, Mulitbus II and iSBC manuals in which you
might be interested.
Currently they are all stored in 4 boxes with a total weight of around
100kg.
So we have enough info of these topics

Yes.
Perhaps it would help to say where you are, what you're gonna use it
for, what
version of VMS, what you're willing to spend, etc.
