Since others have been sharing their new digs, I thought I'd share mine.
I moved a couple of months ago to a much larger house with a
semi-finished (and dry) basement. (As you can tell from the photos, the
refinishing was done sometime in the 1970s :)). Previously I had about
200 square feet of space, now I have more like 900-1000. Not quite as
impressive as Guy's or Henk's, but I've managed to fit all my stuff in
with room for future expansion...
Just this week I got the last of the stuff out of my 10'x10' storage
unit and I've gotten everything approximately where I want it, modulo a
few boxes here and there. One thing I've discovered now that
everything's under one roof: I have way too many keyboards...
This link should work; let me know if you can't get to the album:

I see a Sun 2/120 in the collection. I have one with the additional SMD
disk tower and a 2/50 diskless client.

It's the birthday of our king here in the Netherlands and, as per usual,
there were flea markets all over the country yesterday (nowadays called
King's Day, instead of Queen's Day :)) and all of my "Big Iron" is hoping
to find a good new home.

Chuck, the foam is good. Here's what happens on power up:
Push power button.. power LED *only* immediately comes on along with the
door solenoid doing a test "clunk". Six seconds of blank panel, then
the LEDs light up as I described above... so the CPU seems to be
executing a POST which then fails.
I'm wondering if the door open optical sensor on mine went bad.
Not sure if you have access to yours, but if you turn yours on with the
door held open, what kind of LED display do you get?
Thanks very much,
John
Hi. Does anyone have the manual (with front panel lights error code
table) for an Overland Data OD3210, *or* a working OD3210 that they'd
like to sell?
I've an Overland Data OD3210 (without manual) that was working until
recently, when now I turn it on and the front panel lights are as follows:
Alert: brightly blinking red
Load: solid green
Unload: solid green
Online: solid green
Wrten: solid green
1600 & 3200: very faintly flashing green (LEDs are ok)
Power: solid green
Thanks very much,
John Singleton

Hi, Chuck! No, unfortunately, on my unit, there's neither
under-front-panel-guide nor a slot for one.
Kelly Leavitt of MARCH had one of these /with/ manual that was given
away, so I'm also hoping that the recipient might see this post.

Sure - although I'm not home until May 1. You could send the tapes to
my company address, that's where I keep the CCT drive and equipment
anyway. I'll send you the address by private email and you can decide
what you want to do.

Just for the record (in general terms) I also have a 9-track drive
which I use to read old tapes, including VAX tapes.
Location northern Norway - although I'm not there all the time.

Also on offer for nothing - please save them from being thrown away!

LDOS 5.3.1 will work on the Max 80, but not 5.1.
