Moving "Sale". Lots of free stuff for pickup, SF Bay Area

by sethm＠loomcom.com

Folks, I'm moving in a month, and I desperately need to unload a lot of stuff. All items are located in Union City, California (Just north of Fremont, south of Hayward, in the San Francisco Bay Area). I'm very sorry, but I will not even *consider* shipping anything. I just don't have the time, I'm in full-on crunch mode at work as well as prepping for the move. All of this stuff is PICK-UP ONLY, first-come, first-serve. Most stuff is free, some things have a very small price. Prices are firm. All items are listed here: http://www.loomcom.com/movingsale/ If an item is claimed, I will remove it from the list as soon as I can get to it!! Quick-view list of what's on the page, for the impatient: * Macintosh IIsi * Apple CD 300 * PowerBook 1400c * Apple ImageWriter II * NeXTstation Turbo Color * DECwriter LA12 (Correspondant) Ribbons * DECstation 5000/240 * DECstation 5000/133 * DECstation 3100 * VAXstation 3100 m76 * SGI Indigo 2 Extreme * SGI Indy * AT&T Unix PC * TI 99/4a and box of software * TI Silent 700 Model 780 * TI Silent 700 Model 745 * Atari 800 * Panasonic KX-D4929 Printing Terminal * TRS-80 PT-210 Thermal Printing Terminal * TRS-80 Model 100 Laptop I may make another page for "Part II" if part 1 goes well. Whatever's not claimed will end up going to Weird Stuff Warehouse in Sunnyvale. -Seth

PDF files for Matrox Qbus QRGB boards

by jhfinedp3k＠compsys.to

In case anyone is interested, I sent Al Kossow the (PDF) manuals for the Qbus Matrox QRGB-Alpha and QRGB-Graph boards. He did not respond to or acknowledge my e-mail. In addition, the PDF manuals are still not available at bitsavers. Al, if you are reading this, did you discard my e-mail? If you are interested, I can send the e-mail again. I have other manuals as well. If anyone needs these manuals immediately, I can e-mail them to you. They are 13 MB. If you can not accept an e-mail that size, I can break the e-mail into two parts. Evidently, Glen Herrmannsfeldt scanned these manuals. He also sent them to me. The e-mail from Glen with the manuals arrived after Lou Ernst mentioned that Glen probably had the manuals, but had not scanned them at the time (a few years) ago. After I reminded Glen, he sent to to me. THANK YOU to both Lou and Glen. Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine

The Virtual Revolution (History Of The Internet)

by aliensrcooluk＠yahoo.co.uk

Hi all, I wasn't going to send out an email about this, but I thought the 2nd episode was just as good as the first one, so here I am :) In short, the programme (airing BBC2, UK, around 8:15pm Saturdays) The Virtual Revolution looks at the history of the internet (US Military, ARPAnet, The Well etc.) and it's influence on modern life (hackers, terrorists, social networking etc.). The official site can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/virtualrevolution/ Video's of some of the interviewees (including Tim Berners-Lee and Peter Thiel) can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/virtualrevolution/interviews.shtml A whole host of computers have been seen (for a few seconds) on the programme, including an Altair 8080 and a PDP-10. Some short clips of the programme can be found on YouTube. All of episode 2 can be found on BBC IPlayer here (for the next 7 days only): http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00qsbvv/The_Virtual_Revolution_Enemy_… The whole show is 654MB (about 55 minutes long), if you wish to download it. Regards, Andrew B aliensrcooluk at yahoo.co.uk

a work in progress, and why I haven't been around here much...

by rtellason＠verizon.net

Have a look here: http://mysite.verizon.net/rtellason/nancy.html and you'll see what's been keeping me occupied for the better part of the past year or so... The page is still a work in progress, I need to add some pictures at some point. The worst is over, and it's time for me to move forward, including plowing through a really absurd number of posts in this folder. One other thing I'll mention in passing, a new friend, also widowed, has an H-8 computer system to deal with, I told her that I knew just the place to find someone who would be interested in it. I have no details on it at the moment, though I've seen it. I also told her that just powering it up was probably *not* a good plan at this point since it's been sitting for a number of years unused... Any of you guys interested in it, feel free to contact me off-list.

Poly8813 on ebay

Those came out in 1976 and might fetch $8000. The 8813 series were advertised into early 1979 and are worth more like $400-600 at best, in unknown condition. Bill
