Couple of ancient 1960s manuals on eBay

by lproven＠gmail.com

I'm only looking for 1p + postage, so as close to "free for the cost of postage" as eBay will let me do. I'll be very surprised indeed if these attract any bids at all. Control Data 6400/6500/6600 Computer Systems: FORTRAN Extended Reference Manual http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271291081046 System/360 Scientific Subroutine Package Programmer's Manual, Version III http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271291087236 Assuming they don't go, free to any listmember who wants them for P&P. Printed paper rate means that shipping to the US probably will not be too bad. -- Liam Proven ? Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven at cix.co.uk ?

FS: Cisco ASA 5505 with 1-Gbyte RAM (!), 4-Gbyte flash storage, fully licensed and documentation

by marcogb＠xs4all.nl

Not really 'classic computing' or'retroware' purely in or by itself, but it can certainly be a great addition! I have anice, compact, Cisco ASA 5505"security appliance" (read: an IOS hardware firewall)here, maximized memory (1-Gbyte, so enough for the latest firmware), 4-Gbyte fast CF storage, with a Cisco RJ-45/UTP<=>serial cable included, also the original paperback documentation and the device is fully licensed. (For any specifics, pictures and such, contact me.) It's a great device to secure and filter traffic going in and out of your collection of older systems, so you won't have to worry as much about vulnerabilities and so forth. It's located in the Netherlands. - MG

Moving (save the VAXen!)

Over on cctalk at classiccmp.org....

The final weekend for picking this stuff up is 10/19 and 10/20. I'm taking the final load up on 10/26. Anything after that will be scrapped the following week (there's some exceptions for folks that are picking up/shipping some *big* stuff...they know who they are and don't have to panic). So if anyone wants anything let me know (no I won't ship anything...it defeats the purpose). > > TTFN - Guy > Seeing that it's been quiet I wanted to bump this topic before it was too late. Have these things been claimed or are they going to be scrapped??? >:( This pisses me off because not too long ago I would have done anything for these machines. It's a crime to destroy them. Unfortunately, San Jose/San Francisco, CA is a long way from me in Plainville, MA. Jim

The Depraz mouse.....

by jdr_use＠bluewin.ch

Just found out that a Depraz mouse type D83/P does not necessarily has the same pinout as a Depraz mouse type D83/P. Yep, you read that right.... In fact the red-shelled D83/P has a totally different pinout than the grey-shelled D83/P. Execpt for the power, which is exactly reversed. Sigh... Luckily it does contains only common parts (7405 and 74c14). Idiots......

FS: SGI Indigo² (IP28) 175-MHz MIPS R10000 processor

by marcogb＠xs4all.nl

Is anyone looking for, or otherwise interested in, an SGI Indigo? (IP28) 175-MHz MIPS R10000 processor? It doesn't have the fan installed on it, I remember when I bought this one of the blades was broken (and about to fall off) and I tried to fix it by attempting to glue it, but it didn't work out (the plastic was too thin and delicate). Other than that, the processor works fine and was removed from a working system at the time (about a year or two ago, when I upgraded to a 195-MHz processor). I can look up specifics (like cache size, which I think is 1 or 2 Mbytes or so), show pictures and so forth, if needed/wanted. The object is located in the Netherlands. - MG

SE/30 Analog Board? (was :Re: Zombie Mac Plus)

That is the best solution for your issue. It does remind me that I have an SE/30 that needs an analog board. Does anyone have one available?

DEC PC500

by silent700＠gmail.com

Has anyone heard of/seen/possessed this machine? http://r.ebay.com/hOeqTH It looks to be the general size and shape of the VAXmate but with an in-built 5.25" drive. I am guessing it's a standalone DOS machine, while the VAXmate was a netbooter. I can't find a single thing on it via Google, except for spammer pages that list its part number and nothing else. That item's seller has _a lot_ of DEC material. Most of it is probably on Bitsavers but after a few pages I gave up. They've also got more hardware, unfortunately most of it is very yellowed and/or damaged. All of it is pricy. -- jht

DEC Boxes/systems

by useddec＠gmail.com

My part time crew is emptying one of the storage units faster than I can sort it. It's my fault, but they are burying things here now, putting me further behind in everything including emails and shipping. Feel free to bug me if you haven't heard from me in a while. The following things are now in my way and will be priced accordingly. a few BA11-N and BA11-S, which may go ups or fed ex a few rackmount BA23s a few uvax II in BA123, I hope that's the right number, rx50 upper left, space for tk and 3 rd on right one BA215 (I think) with KA670, mem, etc All can be reconfigured within reason, some have drives Several LA120 and most DEC table top printers and printer parts found about 300 more boards today, including data products. can see 3 buried gaylords and countless boxes, printers, monitors, etc prefer local pick up, Champaign Illinois area Thanks, Paul
