Free: HP 3000 Corporate Business System (12-way) in Cupertino

by sieler＠me.com

Hi, I have an HP 3000 Corporate Business System (3000/996) with 12 CPUs and 1 to 2 GB of RAM, in 6' rack that I'd like to find a home for. It runs! The A/C power plug requires the weird hi-amp 3-prong outlet, not standard household 110. It's in Cupertino, CA, and is housed in a 6' rack (included). (Sadly, it qualifies as a classic, probably from about 1997.) If no home is found fairly quickly, it'll be scrapped, unfortunately. Stan

SGI servers on gsaauctions.gov

by legalize＠xmission.com

There's some SGI servers out at NASA (Langley, VA) on gsaauctions.gov if anyone feels like bidding on them. Opening bid is like $25-35, so definately a bargain. one lot has 2 Onyx 2 cubes and another lot has an Origin 2000 rack (could have graphics, hard to tell). I'd bid on these, but trans-continental freight shipping is prohibitive these days and the purple cubes are definately sensitive to handling. Hopefully someone out on the least coast will snatch 'em up. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>

TOPS-10 in a box

by waltsfo＠gmail.com

"I do have the source code. I will gather it up and make it available. However, it's not pretty." I'm interested. That certainly ties together several fascinating threads of 'classic' computing.

LK250 keyboard cable pinout?

by chrise＠pobox.com

Does anyone have the pinout for the cable that goes from a DEC LK250 keyboard to an AT DIN or PS/2 keyboard plug? I've got an LK250 that is missing the cable. There's a 6-pin modular jack (standard not MMJ) on the keyboard and I presume the missing cable has a mating modular plug on one end and a DIN or PS/2 plug on the other. I can make one if I can find the pinout... Chris -- Chris Elmquist

off topic TEK 565 RM duel beam scope---- off topic

by useddec＠gmail.com

I was at a local scrapper talking about copper, and saw a a tek 565-RM. had 1/2 the slides, was stored indoors, and I didn't see it last week when dropping off batteries, so it could be fresh from the U of I. He wants $100 for it ( seems high to me) and it weights about 75#s. If anyone wants it, I can get it, and possibly box it. Shipping would be expensive, unless you are close or someone in doing a road trip. I can store it for a few months. . I also have a box up plug in's for these, maybe 10-12. If anyone wants, I can did them out and make up a list. I used to have a few 555's, but I do like the new smaller units Located close to Champaign, IL 61853 Thanks, Paul

Prototype Sphere I (and this is when I flood the market)

by wdonzelli＠gmail.com

> http://www.wix.com/hivalerie/sphere1#! > > Gen X website, beware! Pretty much all Spheres were prototypes - NONE of them worked properly out of the box (or as a bag of parts), and they ALL had to spend time with a thick ECO list. They were crap, plain and simple. Interestingly, just a couple of days ago, I was informed that the last of my Sphere stuff has been found, and after ten plus years of hiding, is getting back in my hands. I should have enough parts to make at least two "complete" Spheres, plus maybe a third, and then have parts left over. We shall see. I will likely use them as trade bait, unless people want to part with their money. -- Will

Hi, Someone (Floyd) emailed me saying: > I have an IBM 5110 that was traded to me in 1979 for a BASIC programming > job at a local route vending company. It worked last time I used it, > (1984?) and has been stored in a closet wrapped in blankets for years.

I declined, and offered to post here ... Floyd said ok. His email is floydvincent at verizon.net. I don't know his location, price, or anything other than the above. thanks, Stan
