Collection to go in San Antonio, TX - repost, now free/pick-up

by mtapley＠swri.edu

All, My friend John Gold has still got a respectable collection in San Antonio that needs to not be his. Surely somebody with a storage shed and a van wants to come by and collect this? He'd like it to all go at once, and not to the dumpster, but I think you can work with him on partial deals. I think at this point the price is "come get it". John can be contacted at: jhgold at stic.net Sorry to pester y'all again with this, but some of the gear in here really looks to me to be worth preserving, and John hasn't got the space to do it. ---------------- Computers IBM 5324 large old work station/main frame HP Pavilion 7370V IBM Power Server 320 Type 7012 Macintosh Power PC G3 M4405 233MHz w/ keyboard & mouse Apple 3 CompuAdd 212 Model A002 Leading Edge DC-3010 PC Clone Tall Tower Eltech desktop clone PC Clone mini tower CompuAdd 325 Desktop Dell Dimension XPS M200S Dell Optiplex GXi Sanyo MBC 550 NEC Power Mate V466 Toshiba T1000 Laptop (2) w/ parts Toshiba T1000SE Laptop (2) NEC Multi Speed Laptop Laser 128 Laptop/Portable Computer IBM PC single 360K w/ HDD 5150 w/ keyboard IBM AT clone NEC Ready 466ES NEC Power Mate 286 AT&T Complete system w/ monitor & keyboard AT&T Box (2) Model 6300 CPU1Z & CPU2 w/ 1 keyboard Compaq Presario 4550 mini tower Atari 400 w/ Cassette drive 410 IBM PS-2 Model 30 8530-001 IBM PS-2 Model 30 286 8530-U21 Packard Bell Legend 300SX 386SX-16 Compaq Prolinea MT4/66 tower GTE Government systems desktop Gateway P4D-66 Monitors IBM terminal 3151 RS-232 & printer ports (2) Atari SC1224 IBM 8513-001 SVGA Zenith Data Systems ZCM 1450DT IBM 5153 CGA Apple 3 monochrome XTRON RTB Technologies CM147E CompuAdd MCH 4095N (1989) WYSE WY50 terminal w/ keyboard Dell VM1 mono (1990) Samsung MA2565 (1989) Packard Bell PB1272A (1988) Standard MCH4095N (1988) IBM 5081-16 Composite Video (1990) Sysdyne CGA (IBM clone) AES SVGA (1996) Samtron SVGA (1989) IBM Terminal 3164-11 (1992) NEC Multisync XV14 IBM 6405301 Serial monitor in box IBM 3164 serial terminal w/ base CompuAdd SVGA 51086 (1990) Magnavox Computer Monitor 80 video only Visual 120 Serial terminal w/ keyboard NEC MultiSync JC-1401 P3A 13" (1986) NEC MultiSync 3D NEC MultiSync 3V Printers HP Desk Jet 500 Star NX-10 Dot Matrix Panasonic Quiet KX-P2180 Epson LQ570 Dot Matrix Star NX-1000 Multi font w/ box Texas Instruments Microlaser Pro E Epson LQ-1000 Wide Carriage Dot Matrix Qume Daisy Wheel w/ extra wheels and print cartridge Kodak Personal Portable Diconix 180si Miscellaneous IBM Keyboards (5) Canon Personal Copier PC-3 w/toner cartridges Seiko Digitizer Tablets (3) IBM SCSI drives 7204-001, 7207-001, 7210-001 EXABYTE SCSI tape drive CI Designs SCSI peripheral box / in box IBM PC case 5150 IBM XT case 5160 Musek scanner (no photo) Memorex scanner (no photo) IBM Keyboard??, 5015715, in box, never opened BK Precision 2040 CB Signal Generator Arnet serial expansion board, with software and cables HP 1611A Logic State Analyzer for Z80?

Emulex SCSI Controllers available...

by lbickley＠bickleywest.com

I was chatting with a DEC broker recently regarding SCSI controllers for DEC gear - when he mentioned that he had a quantity of Emulex UC07's available. UC07's are QBUS cards which have a single SCSI port and support either MSCP or TMSCP (in RT land, that would be either DU or MU devices). The manual states that the UC07 is compatible with RT, RSX, RSTS/E and Ultrix versions which support MSCP or TMSCP. The dealers initial price was high (as expected). However, he then added - "I'd be willing to do better for hobbyists - as long as they commit that the boards will only be used for hobby purposes - and not for commercial use". So here's the "deal": $235 per UC07 plus shipping from Mountain View, CA (FedEx Ground). I've paid MUCH more for SCSI interfaces for my DEC QBUS and UNIBUS systems - so IMHO, this is a great deal. The broker said he did not want to deal "individually with a bunch of hobbyists" - so he asked if I would be willing to consolodate a single order of UC07's to him. I reluctantly said "yes", as this is not my business and I'm not interested in making money on this deal - only covering costs. To get a sense of interest, please reply to me privately if you'd like one or more if these "critters". The manual for the UC07 is available on bitsavers. A link to a bitsavers mirror is below: http://bitsavers.vt100.net/pdf/emulex/UC0751001-F_UC07_Feb90.pdf Regards, Lyle -- Lyle Bickley Bickley Consulting West Inc. http://bickleywest.com "Black holes are where God is dividing by zero"

DEC VT05 with OS/8 -- System handler?

However, you also need to understand many programs do I/O to the console without going through that device driver, but talks directly with the console. So it might be that there is no easy solution to your problem.

Zebra Systems Videos...

by alhartman＠yahoo.com

In emptying the warehouse of Zebra Systems, we uncovered the original Betamax tapes of these two shows. I posted them on YouTube for your enjoyment. We also uncovered a load of books, tapes, and some TS-1000/1500/ZX-81 Hardware. We even found about 5 TS-1500 Computers that we'll be offering on eBay. But for now, enjoy these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtDG5cWmH8s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awUonjY_jcs Al Hartman

Ahh but Jules, We know something you dont know !! ... ner ner ... Watch this space for some good news regarding the museum (apart from addition of an SGI Origin 2000 obviously) We had a great time and the Gadget Show Live a few weeks ago See : http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/news/4058/Gadget-Show-Live-2009-Awesome/ which has helped gain us some much needed support ... Anyway, does anyone know where I can get signed drivers for Windows Vista that support the Origin 2000? :-) Jason Curator & Chief Geek The Centre for Computing History -----Original Message----- From: jules.richardson99 at gmail.com Sent: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 16:42:05 -0500 To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: free/pick-up: Origin 2000 sgi 2400, Tilburg, The Netherlands Joost van de Griek wrote: > On Apr 29, 2009, at 20:29, Joost van Baal wrote: > >> The machine will be rescued by the Centre for Computing History >> (www.computinghistory.org.uk) near Cambridge, UK.
