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.

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.

"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.
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...

The enquiry is about the Heath analog computer ES-400
Can you make available copies of any of the documentation ?

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

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.

Hi,
Someone (Floyd) emailed me saying:

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
