I was interested in playing with NeWS (a Postscript-based windowing
system from Sun, predating X) and acquired this stuff from a member of
this list. I never got around to doing anything with it. There are 3
SparcStations (2 IPCs and an IPX), a NeWSPrinter (laser printer which
relies on the host to do the Postscript rendering), the NeWS 2.1
Programmer's Guide, some CDs that can be used to reinstall the OS if
necessary, and a suitable external CD drive. Any reasonable offer
plus shipping costs will be accepted, since we need to move soon, and
I don't see the point anymore of hanging on to something I never found
the time to explore properly.
Hi, sorry in advance for replying to the group. However, for some reason my e-mails to you regarding the Model 16 and 6000 collection have bounced with a "General Failure". I'm a collector in Seattle. Please get in touch if these items are still available. david at marmotking dot com.
boat load of docs. Working last time I turned it on (burps a little once in a while though). No software except what's on the h/d. I can provide more info and pictures after Friday (Punky need to go to the vet).
Interesting work (in development).

To everyone, re: VCF East 7.0 hands-on workshops:
Dan Roganti's "Build Your Own Transistor-Logic" workshop is rescheduled to Saturday from 10am-12pm. It was originally Sunday in the same time slot.
Replacing it on Sunday will be "Teletype 101" by Bill Degnan. Bill will teach the basics of evaluating, cleaning, repairing, and connecting the popular Teletype Model '33 series. At the end of the workshop, one randomly selected attendee will win a tested and working '33. The other attendees will have an opportunity to buy an as-is, untested unit for $75 pending availability.
Both workshops cost $40 and are limited to 10 students. (Eight spots remain for Dan's).
Registration is online at http://www.vintage.org/2011/east/workshop.php

Then I have a nice Olivetti typewriter with RO RS-232 interface for you!
Also lots of the interface boards if you want to make your own, and even a
book about interfacing Selectrics if you prefer that route... ;-)
Yeah, I saw that USB manual TW conversion a year or so ago when it was just
a Make blog/video; looks like he's turned it into a nice little business at
those prices ;-)
