More stuff uncovered.
I have several (~5, actually) Interlan NT10 transceivers to dispose of. These clamp on to coaxial backbone ethernet cables and pierce the jacket (vampire tap) to make a connection. They have an AUI port to connect your equipment to.
If you are interested in them, make me an offer for my time to box them up and take them to a shipper. If there is no interest, they will get recycled.
I am still in Madison Wi. 53714

I can't help you with manuals, but I will confirm that Proteon was indeed an
independent firm in the 80's. During the early and mid-80's I was a member
of Novell's technical staff during and had a good working relationships
with several Proteon engineers. Novell, of course, had PC networking
software and was working with just about any and all PC networking
hardware vendors to make sure that there was a NetWare driver for
their gear. At that time, Proteon had their own flavor of token-ring
over twisted pair style hardware call Pro-Net. I don't remember
the details or the transfer rates, but it was not particularly successful
and later Proteon ended up joining the shift of the industry to Ethernet.
Somewhere along the way, in the very early 90's, I think, they combined
with 3Com. If I remember right, Proteon was located in Waltham, MA
during the 80's.

Subject: anybody have any IBM 8525's?
hello,
Im trying to find one of those all-in-one PS/2 computers that IBM had
in the late 80s, some were under the "EDUQUEST" badging, but most were
the all-in-one 8525, and for some reason those who are selling on ebay
think they have one of the rarest machines in the world and charge as
so, and it really makes me regret not grabbing one from the salvage
pile when they dumped all the ones in 99 when i was in middle school.
anyway, does anyone have one they are willing to part with, or know of
a cheap source of them? thanks
-Joe

You might have more luck if you ask on the Vintage Computer Forum
(vintage-computer.com)
Several hundred EDUQUESTs around, but don't know which model.

Hi, Will,
I'm in NZ now, and I managed to easily disconnect my USAP
subscription, but my request to add from gmail hasn't gone through yet.
So could you do me a favor and mention on the list that I'm in
Christchurch for a few weeks and would enjoy the opportunity to meet
with anyone on the list who's in town to talk about computers, etc.
Just have them contact me at this address. I check it frequently.
Thanks,

Hello,
in an ongoing effort to thin out my collection, I've decided to sell
or exchange some old HP bits that I'm sure are more useful to other
members of this list. They should probably go to the same person,
though the latter might be useful to some HP41 owner, too :-)
HP-75D, with power supply, 8k ram pack, about 16 magnetic strips and
one abrasive cleaning strip, and I/O Rom. I only have the manual for
the I/O ROM, and the June 1983 issue of the HP Journal; that is the
only "manual" I have for the 75D.
I don't have the battery pack, I did at some point, but can't find it
anymore. Some cells were dead, anyways - I think I kept the plastic
parts, but it may be lost. It's fully functional (on AC power), but
looks used (of course). Two of the feet pads are missing.
I also have the 82164A HP-IL/RS-232C Interface, with power supply and
manual, but I never had any HP-IL cables, so I could never test it :-(
This one looks as if it came just out of the shipping box.
I'd be happy to trade for a more modern HP calc (HP48SX or better) or
interesting MIDI gear - otherwise I'm open to offers.

Oh, I also have an HP Omnibook 600C (working except the left mouse
button) that I'm trying to let go.
I'm in Montreal, Canada.
Joe.

Are DEC Letterprinter 100's in nice, working, non-noticeably-yellowed
condition worth anything at present? Or are they pretty much recycling
fodder?
Thanks,
JS
Hi all,
While cleaning, I have come across the following field maintenance print sets. I am inclined to dump them in the recycle bin, unless someone _really_ wants them. The total weight is about 22lbs from Madison, WI.
All are "B" size (11x17") -
UNIT ASSEMBLY 11780 (3" worth)
KU780
(2) 11780 MEMORY ASSY
TAPE DRIVE TU78
TEE16 SYSTEM
MAGNETIC TAPE DRIVE TE16
H9206-M EXPANDER CAB
If interested, reply soon.

Looks like the lot has 4 brand new 029s and two used machines, at least
one of which is an 026. Somebody go get these! Or, do what I did in
2001 when a lot came up, and get a group together to buy them and divvy
them up. These don't come along that often.
Looks like there is some interesting old radar display gear in there
too, which some military buffs would probably want. Are those
scope hoods made of Bakelite?

There's a whole bunch of other stuff in the lot, but you can call the
DRMO staff and see if they can either keep and relist the remainder, or
give it to a surplus dealer. There are usually surplus dealers hanging
around happy to haul off whatever doesn't sell or what gets abandoned.
It's the logistics of shipping and dispersing the stuff that's painful.
Looks like the four new 029s are crated, the 026(s) are sitting on
pallets, and they'll have to be padded and strapped.
In the 2001, I used freightquote.com and scheduled a pickup & had the
units sent to the people in the group. FYI I just looked at the bills
of lading, we listed the factory-crated 029's as 520 lbs each, and the
029s on pallets as 310 lbs each. At today's rates, you should be able
to ship a palletized unit from Ohio to, say, California, with a
liftgate delivery, for about $250, and a crated unit for about $350.
I'd be interested to know on or off list what happens with these,
punched card stuff is one of my areas of interest.
Brian
