[cctalk] People suck++ (was:Play ID the DEC boards on ebay)

by dm561＠torfree.net

----- Original Message ----- Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:13:11 -0700 From: Christopher Satterfield <christopher1400 at gmail.com> What I honestly find worse than the people that gut old gear to sell, are the ones that buy it. If you were going to make a profit scrapping the stuff off ebay, wouldn't those ebay sellers just go and scrap it or whatnot themselves? Obviously you're buying into a bad deal. ----- Reply: ----- Ah, thanks for the heads-up! Having had to scrap some S100 systems because no one was prepared to pay the shipping, I thought I'd keep some of the cards and drives, etc. in case someone needed them; I'd also have thought that offering that calculator board (I happen to have one of those as well) on eBay was better than throwing it in the trash. But now that I know that buying and selling parts from gutted old gear are 'crimes', I'll throw them in the landfill first thing tomorrow morning (after first using them for target practice of course). I certainly don't want you, Dave, N0body H0me, etc. to think that I suck; bad enough to be chastised by Dave for scrapping for parts some LA100s that I'd offered several times with no takers. m

SWTPC 6800 Computer available in North Carolina

by swtpc6800＠comcast.net

I am forwarding this request. Chris lives in Asheville, NC Michael Holley -----Original Message----- From: Chris Johansen <johansen at main.nc.us> To: Michael Holley Subject: SwTPc 6800 needs good home Michael, recently found your website. I have a SwTPc 6800 that needs a good home. Includes a "glass TTY" hobbyist terminal (no display). It was working the last time it was plugged in (~35 years ago!). It would be a shame to trash this piece of history. It is clear that I am not going to do anything more with it. Can you put me in touch with someone who would want it?

Xebec SCSI<->SMD

by lbickley＠bickleywest.com

I have two Xebec SCSI<->SMD bridges - and have been unable to find documentation on them anywhere. There are no model numbers on the boards, but from Google searches, it appears the model number may be "Xebec S1490". Anyone have any information on these "critters"?

Etherplex

by jon＠jonworld.com

Can someone school me on Etherplex technology circa 1992-ish. Seems to be Ethernet multiplexing to get more bandwidth than 10MB.

RangeLAN2

by BHuntsman＠mail2.cu-portland.edu

Anyone here remember RangeLAN2? Anyone have a Proxim RangeLAN2 7520 AP they'd like to sell? None of this is exactly vintage yet, but certainly obsolete... :) Thanks! -Ben
