Hi folks,
Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be trying to liquidate some "dead weight" -- meaning, things that I don't have time to poke at and have fallen down the list of projects I want to work on. So, probably nothing terribly exciting, but if anyone is interested in any of it, I'd like to give them the chance to take it off my hands.
I have two
1. A KA660 MicroVAX 4000/200 in a BA123 pedestal chassis. It has memory errors, so it can't boot past the system console, but it might be a fun project for someone who's into VAXen. It comes with four 16MB MS650 memory modules, a couple of RF35 (I think) DSSI disks, and a TK-70 drive. That's it.
2. Compaq AlphaServer DS20e. No skins, just the bare rack-mount chassis. I think it's got about a gig of RAM and about 18GB of disk. It's fast, you know you want it. You can run OpenVMS on it and impress your friends.
Location: Fremont, California, USA. You come pick up, sorry, I can't ship anywhere.
Price: No reasonable offer will be refused!
Drop me a line off-list if you're interested in either (or both!) of these.

Dear friends,
A friend of mine got an Hitachi MB6890 computer with a pair of drives.
Does anyone has a clue of how to copy its disks? Where to find disk images?
Thanks
Alexandre
I just got a Digiac model 5504 disk drive exerciser through eBay. It didn't include any documentation. The basic features seem pretty straightforward, but I'm hoping to find documentation to figure out the less-obvious stuff, like those "fault enable" switches under a locking cover.
It'll probably make an appearance on my web page eventually. For now, curious folks can see pictures of it on the eBay listing:

I plugged it into a 5.25" floppy drive and was able to start and stop the motor and move the heads around. I'll probably try to get some alignment floppies one of these days.

Does anyone have RT-11 actually running with two MSCP disk controllers?
My 11/83 has a CMD CQD220A/TM at 172150, and an RQDX3 at 160334. The rqdx3 has an rx33 floppy drive, and is set for starting LUN 4.
No matter what I do, RT-11 simply won't see the floppy. I've run sysgen, specified the addresses of both controllers, nothing works.
So, if anyone actually has a running system with dual controllers, I would love to see the SET DEVICE stuff that makes it work.
Thanks for any advice.
Guys,
Many of you know about us - www.hpmuseum.net, and that we are located in the
convenient-for-everyone city of Melbourne. We are planning another
consolidated sea shipment from the US later this year. So, if you need to do
any HP closet-clearing, or know anyone who does, please put them on to us.
Our ship-to address is in Southern California (city of Orange). We pay for
shipping.
We are not just looking for hardware, software and manuals. We are also
interested in newsletters, user magazines, promotional material and videos,
etc. Thanks for reading and keep up the great work!
Cheers,
Jon
I have a quantity of 11/44 boards and backplanes and can sell either
complete sets or individual parts. Shipping from 61853. Please contact me
off list if you are interested.
Thanks, Paul
A TECO distribution has the manual in RUNOFF format. I'd like to run
that through a decent text formatter to get a PDF.
Does anyone know of a RUNOFF manual that will tell me the meaning of
the directives so I can translate this file into troff and then
process it into PDF?

Hi folks,
Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be trying to liquidate some
"dead weight" -- meaning, things that I don't have time to poke at and
have fallen down the list of projects I want to work on. So, probably
nothing terribly exciting, but if anyone is interested in any of it,
I'd like to give them the chance to take it off my hands.
I have two items to get started with.
1. A KA660 MicroVAX 4000/200 in a BA123 pedestal chassis. It has
memory errors, so it can't boot past the system console, but it might
be a fun project for someone who's into VAXen. It comes with four 16MB
MS650 memory modules, a couple of RF35 (I think) DSSI disks, and a
TK-70 drive. That's it.
2. Compaq AlphaServer DS20e. No skins, just the bare rack-mount
chassis. I think it's got about a gig of RAM and about 18GB of disk.
It's fast, you know you want it. You can run OpenVMS on it and impress
your friends.
Location: Fremont, California, USA, conveniently located near Decoto
Road and I-880. You come pick up, sorry, I can't ship anywhere.
Price: No reasonable offer will be refused!
