Hi I was just offered two "extender boards" which looks to fit QBus. They look like this: http://www.update.uu.se/~pontus/slask/IMG_5090.JPG My own theory is that they fit the UNIBUS -> QBus converter I got with my GAMMA-11 from the same souce. Regards, Pontus

Desoldering (Again)

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

(resending from a different account, apologies if this is a duplicate) I have a 16-pin IC to desolder and I am struggling. Since I last asked about desoldering I have got a lot better with a de-soldering pump and can now clear the hole in the sense that I see a black hole rather than solder, and I can see daylight through all the holes (but for most of the holes this is only if I angle the board the right way). However, in this case the solder seems to be going all the way through and slightly onto the component side surface where I can't get at it with the pump. I have jiggled the pins to try to break any last bits of solder, but the chip is still very solidly attached. Any advice? Thanks Rob

Anyone interested in an AT&T 6300?

by cclist＠sydex.com

Anyone interested in an AT&T 6300? Got one with monitor, keyboard and printer. Did have a full set of manuals, but someone bought those. If no response by tomorrow, I'll consider it e-junk. --Chuck

Nixdorf 8810 M15

by tiina＠finntrans.com

Hello, Before discarding my good ol' Nixdorf laptop I thought I would check if anyone would like to have it. I is pretty heavy (18 lb), so mailing it would not be cheap, but I live in the Dallas area should there be a collector nearby. Please let me know what you think. Thank you, Tiina Fallini, MA ATA Certified Translator and Interpreter English <> Finnish <mailto:tiina at finntrans.com> tiina at finntrans.com <http://www.finntrans.com/> www.FinnTrans.com 817.399.0246 (CST)

It is better in some ways than the $500+ hot air and iron rework station that I have.

by jtp＠chinalake.com

Clearing out; a few items for sale. Remainders posted on ebay next week. Photos at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31439100 at N05/sets/72157627525411857/ Location: Metro-west Boston, MA US, ship from 01888 Check/MO preferred, ppal if most convenient - DEC SCSI Y cable BN21V-0B Rev A02 No dings, dents, bent pins $25 + ship (~14 oz) - Book, new condition: Alpha Implementations and Architecture 1996 Digital Press ISBN: 1-55558-130-7 39.95 sticker on the back, probably from SoftPro MA if they weren't closed by then $15 + ship (~1.5 lb padded envelope or box, std or media mail--your call) - Konexx Koupler, Acoustic Coupler Works, great cosmetic shape: functional or for collector This is the early blue unit--"patent pending" Used to use this when traveling in odd spots, worked well at a speedy 2400 These are apparently still made by Konexx http://www.konexx.com/ $30 + ship (~14 oz) - Adaptec 1740A EISA SCSI card Worked when shelved long ago, manual may be around eisa descriptor files--on your own $0 + shipping costs (<1 lb) - HP 1630D Logic Analyzer Used (really), working, old critter so I won't guaranty a lifespan This was two different units--last of the spares. The power supply was repaired at some point--usual fuse holder wall bang among other things. The new fuse holder is mounted to the chassis rather than the power board, but is connected with insulated terminals allowing easy removal of the board. Has the most recent ROMs I had in stock. One set of flying leads, full row so you can use as either state or timing The leads are passive, thus you can make additional sets. I really am not interested in shipping this--getting larges boxes, etc. $20 local pickup, or possibly delivery for nominal $. - Sony SDT-S9000 External DAT DDS3 12/24 Tape unit Excellent shape. No spare media--shredder, have a cleaning tape or two. Same unit posted a few months ago that a few interested folks never followed up on. AMP ends, includes a terminator, let me know if you need a cable and what ends (nominal$) $25 + shipping (~6 lb) --Jim
