There are 28 pallets of older HP and Cisco equipment being sold by a broker
in Germany. The equipment is located in Hungary.
If you can handle taking in a huge amount, and you are in Europe, please
contact me.
This is not a pick and choose. It is a "take all" situation and will require
payment. I do not know the requested value for this lot. I also do not know
what the equipment is. A list is available on request.

It turned out my friend was wrong. The power transformer is most likely ok.
But one of the main choppers were short circuited (yes, it is a switcher,
again to little info from my friend).
Anyway. The chopper transistors were TI made in 1978 but marked T484.
Probably some IBM marking which no one has the cross for.
I replaced them with nice high voltage high current TO3 transistors The
only thing i could get from the original transistors except for the
physical appearance was the polarity.
With a 5.6 ohm resistor on the 5V i fired up the PSU with a 60W lamp in
series with one of the mains leads. Nothing happened on the bases of the
switchers until I got to around 190 VAC input.
At that point the base went high and stayed there.
Really strange. Of course I have no schematics for this IBM thingie. Does
anyone have a schematic for the IBM 5110 PSU? I think I really need it to
understand what is going on.
Tracing it out is an option but then all those square metal canned IBM
ICs...

A fellow who was putting the air in "Microsoft Tire" (c) is going to
prison. Microsoft claims that the air they give free with the tire is
not free. You can download the air and install the air and use the
air, but noone can help you do it or they will spend 15months in
federal prison and pay 3/4 of a million beans in damages for helping
you and charging nothing for it but a quarter for the electricity it
cost to put the air in.

These went exceptionally fast.
Timing of the first response was Jim Capp by about 1 minute. So if Jim will send me his physical address off list, I?ll coordinate with him in shipping them.

Well I said no more computers I can't lift, but exotic systems keep
finding me. So today we pulled a Tandem CLX out of a basement, along
with a few boxes of docs, 9-track tapes and random odd and ends:

There's such as thing as "so obscure that no one knows/cares about
it". I've had those before. Do I have another? It sure is heavy.

This is a long shot, but...
There was an Able Computer document at VCF Midwest, and through a
miscommunication, it wound up on the 'free' pile. Did anyone here get it?
If so, I'd like to try and get it scanned in, and made available.
The thing is that documentation for Able products is hyper-rare; we only have
those for the UNIVERTER and QNIVERTER, and some preliminary notes for the
ENABLE. So if this can somehow be located...
And while I'm at it, if anyone has any documentation on other Able products
(there's a list here:
http://gunkies.org/wiki/Able_Computer
which I think is fairly complete), it would be great to get that scanned in
too. (Not advertising brochures, we have a couple of them.)
Thanks!

I wasn't! :-) This is via Paul A, who was there.
I don't recall where they were before they got free-piled (he told me who it
was who had it, but I had no particular reason to store those bits in my
memory).

I?ve got a few books I?ve just pulled off the shelf and no longer want/need.
I?m hoping someone will give them a good home.

Hi everybody,
as I don't recall seeing this offer around here (may be just rusty memory on my side however...), I thought I'd forward this for good measure.
I'm considering making the 2k mi trip together with my Dad but would do so only as a last resort to save the machine from being scrapped.
I think I have some excess CPU boards, maybe a clock board, spacers and PCU/fan boxes from a gutted E4k class machine here (southern Germany) so I might be able to help people looking for parts.
So long,
Arno // DO4NAK
