OK, another question :
a cheap source for the hp-ib, gpib connectors ?
What I found so far is in the $ 20 range.
(through hole, right angle, receptacle, ...)
Cheers & Thanks
Time for some early spring cleaning. I've got a pile of stuff I'm never
going to use again (I've decided to give up on my SparcStation
collection, for example :))...
Here goes. This is all located in the Seattle area, the smaller stuff I
can ship but I'd of course prefer local pickup. Make me an offer...
Anything not claimed will be put on Craigslist at the end of the week
and the remainder goes to RE-PC after that.
- DEC RL02 : not working, but is complete (minus front panel bulbs).
Very beat up looking, but clean inside.
- Acorn A5000 : works, but faceplate is beat up (got mangled in the mail
due to bad packing). Needs new battery (removed old leaky one before it
could do any serious damage). No keyboard/mouse -- not PS/2 compatible.
- IBM PS/2 Model 70 (386). 4mb ram, no hard drive but sled is present.
Boots just fine.
- Blue & White G3 Mac with 450Mhz G4 upgrade. Runs fine, no hard drive,
somewhere around 256mb of RAM.
- HP Apollo Series 700. Small pizzabox. Worked the last time I powered
it up.
- Amstrad PC1640 SD : just the main unit, no monitor (which supplies the
power). Missing one of the drives.
- Beehive "Super Bee" terminal : No keyboard, needs repair. In solid
shape. Heavy.
- 2x IBM PC Convertibles : One has a backlit screen, one without. Two
carrying cases. One AC adapter. Serial and Printer expansions.
- Sun Ultra Enterprise 2 : Dual UltraSparc IIi, 512mb ram. No drives,
but I have sleds somewhere.
- SparcStation 2
- 2x SparcStation IPX
- SparcStation IPC
- 2x Macintosh Portables - good for parts, no working hard drives
between the two, alas.
(None of the SparcStations have working NVRAM batteries.)
- Piles of old IDE disks (500mb or less). Unknown condition, many were
working at one point but time and stiction make fools of us all.
Inquire if you want details, I'm too lazy to list them all here right
now :).
- IBM P260 21" CRT monitor. Nice flat trinitron CRT, works pretty
well. Large, as these monitors tend to be. Does SOG.
Thanks,
Josh
I am trying to run the ftp command on Windows (7) against an FTP server on
VMS 7.3 (the UCX version of TCP/IP). I am sure this has worked in the past,
but now when I try it connects successfully but VMS never sends back the
login prompt. I tried running FTP on the VMS system back to itself and the
prompt came straight back.
Sniffing the packets I see a SYN from Windows, SYN-ACK from VMS and then ACK
back to VMS. 60 seconds later Windows resets the connection.
Has anyone else seen this and know the solution?
Thanks

This is what I'm attempting to get rid of from my warehouse. I would
like to get something for the machines, but mostly want to make sure
that the stuff doesn't get scrapped. Everything is assumed to work, but
I have no guarantees that it does, and it hasn't been turned on in quite
a while, but it has been stored in a climate-controlled warehouse. I'm
open to some trades, and negotiable on prices for most stuff. I'm not
willing to ship anything myself, but may be willing to drop it off
somewhere to be shipped - I mostly don't have time to pack this stuff.
Email me for more info on any of this stuff.
For the most part, this stuff needs to be gone by May 14th- when I leave
for Dayton Hamvention. I may be able to bring smaller (desktop box)
stuff with me, but larger stuff I won't be able to transport to the show
with everything else I'm bringing. Some of the stuff will start
disappearing at the end of next week via scrap or eBay if I don't hear
anything by then.
+ VAX 8700 w/ TU-81+ and SA482. Haven't had a chance to power up, and
will keep this if I don't get a good offer. Want around $500 for it.
+ DG Nova 2 w/ PERTEC 9-track tape drive and dual 8" floppy.
Asking $750, this will go to eBay if I don't get any takers.
+ DG Nova 4. Have 3 or 4, some missing the front-panel. 3rd party
Disk/QIC tape rackmount box that goes with them.
+ BA-11 10.5" tall UNIBUS expansion boxes. $25 each
+ SGI Onyx prototype machine. The same size and chassis as a Challenge
XL. $100
+ PDP-11/23 w/RL02s in corporate cab. $200
+ RM-02 drives. I have 4, want to keep at least one. Never had much
luck getting them to work with my RH-11 on my 11/84, but I don't think
there's anything wrong with the drives themselves. $200 each
+ VAX 4000/200. I have two or 3 of these. $100 each
+ DEC CMR53. 2 of these. A pdp-11/53 system with some special
communications cards in them. $100 each
+ AlphaServer 4100. $20
+ Various VAXstation 3100s for whatever I can get for them
+ 4 tape drives from IBM 3480-B22 tape units. I've considered saving
this for spares, but I'm not sure I care enough.
+ IBM S/390 G5 coupling facility. I'd really like to find the
replacement software for the SE to make it into a "standard" CPU, so
that I can at least run Linux on it, but I'm not sure that's likely.
$200.
+ Encore Mulitmax UNIX box. 32 x NS32332 processors and 128MB ram, and a
2nd rack with a 9-track tape drive and some 8" hard disks. $250.
+ General Automation SPC16/40 and 16/45. Missing the front panel for
one of the two, have an I/O box, and PSUs. needs some repair work. One
of the PSUs needs new capacitors. Will keep unless I can get $500 or so
for the both of them.
+ HP 1000 E-series, I think. Two of these. $200 each?
+ IBM RS/6000 SP. I've got one frame with quad-375MHz POWER3-II thin
nodes, and one high node (16GB ram, 16 x 375MHz). $200
+ DEC VT240 terminals. Probably 10. $5 each
+ IBM 9343-C02 DASD box. I have someone interested, but haven't heard
>from them in a while, and am not sure how interested they really are ...
I'd like to get $100 for it.
+ Two Amiga 2000 Video Toaster boxes. I may end up keeping one. $100.
+ Various IBM UNIX desktop systems, desktop VAXes, etc. $5 each.
+ Altos 8000 and 8600 systems. $10 each.
+ Tektronix 4010 terminal. $100.
+ Tullamore/Victoreen SCIPP 1600 1600-channel pulse-height analyzer.
Powers up, but not tested much more than that. Looks cool, and has CORE
memory inside. $50. Some pics I took a while ago:

That's all I can recall for now.

So I got back from Notacon7 in Cleveland, OH, yesterday, and wanted to
mention that there was a classic computer presence there.
Robert & Jim from Fresno Commodore User Group were there and had setup a
variety of old machines including 64's, VIC-20's, 1541's, and even an
A500(Yay!) with a couple boxes of disks.
There was also a demo in the BlockParty demo competition from a guy who
used the Coleco as his platform of choice. His demo was mostly written
in Z80 assembly with help from some FORTH tools. There was a preference
for running these demos on the old hardware. Plenty of Amiga "trackers"
used during the music-only portion of the competition.
http://www.demoparty.us/
and
http://www.notacon.org/
has more info if you are interested.

It appears that there has been a lot of interest in the Tek 4010
terminal. As I don't want to pick anyone myself, I think that I'll end
up putting it up for sale on eBay and let everyone settle who gets it
that way.
I'll see if I can get it listed early this week.

I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience buying health insurance
through the ACM. My career has taken some very interesting twists and
turns and it looks like I'll be running a consulting firm for a while.

A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
I've been reading the HP Integral service manual that Al kindly put on
Bitsavers [1], It's a strange manual in that it includes schematics of
the main logic boards. Why, I don't know, other comtemporary HP computer
service manuals didn't. Not that I'm complaining...
Anyway, various thoughts occured to me as I remember some
thignn about that machine
1) Did HP ever produce the CS/80, SS/80 or Amigo drive exerciser software
to run on the Integral? It seems it would be the ideal machine for use as
a drive tester since it's so easily portable.
2) The later version of the OS ROM module has a space for an option ROM
PCB. It seems like this would be trivial to recreate (schematics of the
ROM Mmodule, inclding the pinouts of the option board connectors are
certainly in 'my' Integral schematics). If enough people are interesd,
it might be worth laying out a PCB...
3) The manual mentions that the Integral expansion bus was an
implementation of some other HP standard bus, but only rows A and C. What
other machine(s) used a similar bus? I can't think of any.
[1] I've also been reading the HP9000/200 Pascal 3.0 system
docuementation. A wonderful mine of information, but oh so annoying to
read on a screen...
