Does anyone have this, willing to sell or --- more ideally,
for me --- willing to trade a SGI IP59 quad-processor CPU/node-
board? (P/N: 030-1989-003)
I have several (non-SGI) systems of interest, Alphas (PWS 500au's
and DS10s), but also Sun SPARCs (e.g. Ultra 10) and also at least
one HP Integrity rx2620 "Montecito" (largely maxed out, with 24
Gbytes RAM) to trade. All of the above are max'ed out, in terms
of 'specs' & configurations, plus there are many (PCI, PCI-X,
AGP, etc.) options available. I also have an IP53 dual-processor
CPU/node-board, as a possible 'replacement' (in case an IP59 board
would have to be removed from a working system) and may even have
a quad-processor one (i.e. the one I currently have installed).
I'd also like to emphasize, to avoid confusion, that these are
things I have to offer. Not so much things I'd like (or deem
sensible) to trade 1:1. The reason I'm looking for this part,
as well as other parts, is because I'm trying to get as much
out of my system as possible, as I'm working on my portfolio
as a graphic designer.
Either way, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm open to
ideas and offers. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a complete set of SGI DMediaPro DM2/DM3 LVDS
cables, willing to trade/sell? (See my other WTT/WTB thread,
for the IP59 board, for possible items of interest to trade.)
I'm specifically looking for both a white (P/N: 018-0985-001)
and black (P/N: 018-0946-001) LVDS cable, to connect a DM3 to
a VBOB.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have one of these TRAM (Texture Memory, 4 Mbytes
ideally, P/N: 030-0676-003) boards, for an SGI Indigo? IMPACT
(e.g. for HighIMPACT) graphics card to trade/sell? (See my
previous threads for possible items to trade.)
Thanks in advance.

Two Compaq AlphaServer DS10 systems, each with a 466 MHz EV6
processor and 2 Gbytes RAM (I can also reduce it to, say, 256
Mbytes). There are various options additionally, including SCSI
RAID (e.g. Smart Array 5300 or even Smart Array 6400), GbE
(DEGXA, original and/or modified), stock ELSA GLoria Synergy,
various Radeon 7500 (also All-In-Wonder), NEC USB, audio cards
and more. One of the two DS10s 'as-is', as it may have a faulty
CD-ROM drive (it's also missing its 'badge/name plate' with
"ALPHASERVER DS10" on it, below the "Compaq" logo, in case you
should care). The skins are all intact, in good/excellent shape
and included.
I have various options to offer. In any event, please contact
me for more information, offers or potential trades (I'm in
particular looking for SGI parts). I can also show pictures
and arrange a 'test drive' or 'tour' via SSH or Telnet.
The systems are located in the Netherlands and I'm willing
to ship (internationally).

Anyone interested in a barely used, mint-condition, HP AlphaServer
DS15? Equipped with a 1 GHz 21264C/EV68CB, maxed out with 4 Gbytes
RAM, (*original HP*, active-cooled, noise-free) ATi Radeon 7500,
(rare) DS15 audio option, DEGX2 (dual-port Gigabit Ethernet) and a
hot-swap front access disk cage (I may also be able to include two
disks and sleds, contact me about that). A nice touch, especially
for those used to the DS10, is that SCSI (KZPEA) is on-board.
Besides the on-board KZPEA, I also have a KZPDC (HP/Compaq Smart
Array 5300, Ultra160 SCSI RAID HBA) and/or KZPEC (HP Smart Array
6400, Ultra320 SCSI RAID HBA), as well as an HP/Neterion XFrame
10GbE NIC.
Here are some pictures:

Two Hewlett-Packard Integrity rx2620 systems, with dual 9015
"Montecito" (IA-64 with hyperthreading, VT-x, etc.) dual-core
processors, 24 Gbytes RAM, iLO/MP board and plenty of options
(Ultra320 SCSI RAID, 10GbE, GbE-and-FC combo cards and much
more). I should note, the processors have been installed last
year, brand-new out of the box! (In fact, I can even deliver
the original CPU boxes, with processor tools, included documents
and so forth.) This type of CPU supports HPVM (also known as
Integrity VM), which is a fairly recent feature.
In any event, please contact me for more information, offers
or potential trades (I'm in particular looking for SGI parts).
I can also show pictures and arrange a 'test drive' or 'tour'
via SSH or Telnet.
The systems are located in the Netherlands and I'm willing
to ship (internationally).

Two Digital (Equipment Corp.) Personal WorkStation 500au systems,
each with a stock 500 MHz EV56 CPU (socketed), 1? Gbytes memory,
on-board DE500 Fast Ethernet NIC, on-board SCSI, on-board (MMOV-
compatible) Ensoniq ES1888 audio, additional DE450 NIC, PowerStorm
3D30, an additional QLogic SCSI controller (same type as on-board).
One of the two may have a weak battery, but it's fortunately a
regular button cell type battery.
I have various options to offer. In any event, please contact
me for more information, offers or potential trades (I'm in
particular looking for SGI parts). I can also show pictures
and arrange a 'test drive' or 'tour' via SSH or Telnet.
The systems are located in the Netherlands and I'm willing
to ship (internationally).

I think I also remember them being used to enable ASCII terminals to emulate
3270 terminals for an IBM mainframe, before IBM 7171 protocol converters came
into use, unless that was a completely different machine also called series1...

When this happens with a floppy drive, it is often due to the data cable having
being put on upside down, causing all the active signals to be grounded and
resulting in the drive being selected all the time. Perhaps a similar cabling
issue could cause this with an ST-225?

It's funny how for many, the "IBM PC 5150" is not an "IBM PC kind of computer".
I'm sure somebody here did it. 5150 with a CM153 card for Philips CM100 player?
