Hi,
Due to a change in circumstances, I need to downsize my collection.
Most of this stuff has been given to me free by other members of this
group. It is first come first served, but if you gave it to me and want it
back, obviously you have first shot.
It is located in Piccadilly in London, and for the bigger stuff will need
to be picked up before 11am any day inc. weekends. I also need to move it
within 3 weeks.
I have a busted hip at the moment so I can't help lift anything and they
are located on the 2nd Floor.
Now thats dealt with here's what I have :
aMicrovax 3400
2x Vax 4000-200 (One has a broken PSU)
Hp zx6000 (No drives)
SGI GDM17e11 CRT
2x DECserver 300
5x DECsystem 3100 (Think they are all dead, have never managed to get them
to go past diagnostics)
5x Gould os 3500 Oscilloscopes - All working but not been calibrated for
years.
Sgi Indy
Massive box of DEC Cables, mostly DSSI
Intel MDS - Non working, powers up but nothing happens
2x Alphaserver ES45 - These are HEAVY
Let me know if you want it..

In this (swedish) forum thread there is bidding going on for two core
memory boards for what I think is a HP2100A/S.
The current bid is 200 SEK. But it has to be fetched in Karlskoga.

Hi,
I'm hopeing to find a new home for 2 Sun Netra T1's, they are in London
Hackspace on Hackney road near cambridge heath station, specs:

1Gb ram
There are 4 x 17Gb drives and 2 x 36Gb drives with them, the 36Gb drives

So, I got a couple of RS/6000 systems (7043-140's) from another listmember
a while back, which I've finally got around to looking at. Both appear to
be working (one had a bad cache RAM connection, now fixed), although I only
have one drive between the two, which has AIX 4.3.2 installed.
I don't have install media, and I don't know the root password; question
is, can anyone tell me if Linux can mount AIX's filesystem, so that I can
reset it? I'm seeing a whole bunch of conflicting reports about that, in
particular that Linux' idea of JFS is based on that in OS/2, which is a
different animal to that which existed in AIX. (reason for asking rather
than just trying is that I don't actually have a PC-based SCSI board here
with me; I'd have to put the AIX drive in one of my Sun or SGI systems,
snarf raw data into a file via dd and FTP it across to mount it via a
loopback device under Linux - then do the reverse to get the modified image
back onto the disk)
If it comes to it, I can try scanning the raw disk blocks for root's entry
in the passwd file, removing the password (which I assume will just be a
single-character indicator to use a shadow file anyway) and making up the
slack in the comment field - which will hopefully work. But it would be far
easier to just access the file directly.
cheers

I recently acquired a mildly interesting book, "Images of America: Digital
Equipment Corporation", by Alan R. Earls, which gives the opening year for a
lot of DEC facilities (and pictures of quite a few). I'm not sure where
his data is from, but that might be a start.

I'm wondering if anyone on the list has much experience recovering data from
old cassette tapes?
The tape to be read is a single cold-start tape that was found sitting the
B1900 system picked up by Noel Chiappa just recently.
Given the tape's importance, I'd rather not fry it or blow limited
opportunities by attempting it myself!

Well, things came to a point I have NO 360K drive I can attest it is
working properly and aligned.
I have some AAD alignement diskettes, but I need something to exercise
the drive. Google seems not to know what a "floppy drive exerciser" is. Do
people have some tips of schematics, programs, or will I have to roll my
own? :)
Thanks!
