Sun Sparc AXi mainboard, Sparc 10 RAM, and other stuff free or cheap

by tonym＠compusource.net

Figured I'd take advantage of the long weekend to go through stuff in the garage. Got a Sun single CPU AXi motherboard, the one they made to build into clone cases. Includes: Mainboard with dongle for kb and mouse, ATX power connector, has I/O panel for ATX case. (2) 64MB Sticks (2) 256MB Sticks (2) processors: 360mHz 501-5148, and a 333mHz 501-5090 Don't think it was ever used, and if it was, it was for a matter of days! Can't guarantee it, but it's cheap enough! Pay shipping + $10 SHOULD fit into a Priority Mail box, so figure around $20 shipped. (3) Sun 501-2273 16MB modules for Sun Sparc 10, Sun barcoded. Free+$10 Priority Mail shipping Apple II Plus - powers up, but a bunch of junk on the screen, but case is pretty flawless last I checked. $50+shipping Apple IIC - pretty clean, minimal yellowing, includes PSU, and an original DOS 3.3 system master, and I can dig up a few more original disks to go with it $50+shipping. Does work, but the monitor IIc I had croaked. Got a stack of manuals, in binders, and some disks, for H/Z Z-100.I BELIEVE Bill Loguidice wanted them, so if he doesn't, available for shipping - Media Mail doable on this, as it's manuals and disks. Shouldn't be more than $10-15 MMail. I'll keep pulling over the weekend.... Tony

Uses for OpenVMS

by thrashbarg＠kaput.homeunix.org

Hi, I've had a VAXstation 4000/60 in my cabinet for well over a year now (had to renew the license a few days ago). It is running OpenVMS 7.3. I can not think of any use for it, other than learning about OpenVMS, but that is made difficult when I don't know what to do with it... So what can be done with an OpenVMS setup these days? Also, if anyone wants an account they're welcome, just email me. Alexis.

by bert＠brothom.nl

Hi, I'm looking for a new home for my 75-node pentium pro supercomputer.

One case contains 3 CPU systems. There are 25 cases, so 75 CPUs. This takes up at least 4 19" cabinets. Contact me if you want to have it. It's free. Regards, Bert

Video tour at the MARCH computer museum

by evan＠snarc.net

Hello cctalk'ers. Here at the MARCH computer museum, where we're hosting VCF East in two weeks >from now, we decided to make a short video tour of the first of our four exhibit rooms. The video itself, just like our museum facility, is very much "under construction" .... we'll probably need another two or three "takes" of the video to really have it come out well. Also, most of the computers in this exhibit room DO operate, although they're switched off in the video. So, please watch it, feel free to laugh at my on-camera anxiety, and please visit us in person someday (or Sept. 13-14 for the VCF East!) .... here goes: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tksMbWfTssU> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tksMbWfTssU And yes, that really is our club-owned Straight-8 in the middle!! -Evan

HandyMan for Kaypro

by tonym＠compusource.net

I asked a while back on comp.os.cpm, and didn't get much response... Anyone remember how to use a HandyMan for the kaypro? This was an add-in board, piggy-backed between the Z80 and socket, and had a TSR-like pop-up Borland SideKick wanna-be. Trying to find some info, as a K10 I acquired came with a handyMan, and Advent 1MB RAMDisk, and K4 came with an Advent Clock, RamDisk, ProGraphics board, Personality module, and 5mHz turboboard.

Looking for DTC520 schematic, etc.

And I'm pretty sure it only knows how to talk to MFM drives (and floppies). It has the normal edge finger connectors for the floppies and for two ST506/MFM type drives. There are also two unused (in this system) 50-pin headers on the the other side of the board. I'd be very surprised if this was SASI/SCSI, but I have no idea what they are. The computer box connects to this through a single 50-pin ribbon cable that connects to yet another 50-pin header in the central section of the controller. Anyway, if you truly have a real DTC520 floating around in your stash, I'd be glad to hear from you. - Jared > -- J Blaser wrote: >> My old Novell 2010 CP/M computer[1] has suffered a failure >> in the Data Technologies Corp.

Any DG MV2000 folks out there?

by cclist＠sydex.com

An old customer has some questions about his still-in-use DG MV2000 (running AOS). Anyone well-versed who's still using one of these care to answer a few speculative questions off-list? Thanks, Chuck

classic Mac sighting

by spectre＠floodgap.com

On the episode of Chuck tonight, which tends to have various Macs anyway such as cheesegrater G5s turned into generic boxen by blocking out the apple, I spotted Chuck repairing a Macintosh IIci (and its power supply) in the supply cage. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- TRUE HEADLINE: Police To Begin Campaign To Run Down Jaywalkers -------------

OT: Gustav

by tonym＠compusource.net

As we all communicate on different lists and forums, the storm is popping up on most of them. Those of you in the path, good luck, and God-speed - this is a REALLY serious looking beast. 150mph winds, and it was over land in Cuba. It's about to trek a couple hundred miles in REALLY warm waters, which isn't good... Living in S. Florida, I know it all too well... Don't wait until the last minute to evacuate, or to prepare. Stay safe, and evacuate if there is even a REMOTE need to. Nothing is worth more than life. Tony
