So I called my buddy of 20+ years. Got old PDP junk left? Like what kinda junk? PDP 8 or 11? Hmm, got PDP 8 boards and BA11 boxes. PDP11 makes no sense, it is a series, 11/70 or what? I know NOTHING about this stuff. I told him slide in boxes with flippy switches. He laughed and said he will send me over a list of all the OLD DEC stuff left in the warehouse. Shipping will be from Calif. Pickup avail, or shipping, for rack stuff.

Decrepit old HDD

by sales＠elecplus.com

I have the opportunity to purchase some old 50-pin SCSI, ESDI, MFM, RLL etc. drives. There is no way to test them, and there are no refunds. There are no dents or obvious signs of damage, but that means noting. Is there any way to resurrect these if they are dead/defective? Any interest?

Dallas drive

by sales＠elecplus.com

I plan to go to Dallas next week for a quick run. Things I know are there: IBM XT and AT computers with kbds, no monitors. (3 pallets last I checked) CASES of NIB 360K internal floppy drives (not diskettes) for the original IBM PC Some hdd for the original PCs, new and used Defective IBM monitors (flybacks are no longer made) Parts for 5140 computers, some NIB (no kbds) Original DEC things that have orange flippy switches-WARNING! Smells like dead rats and rat poop. Nasty condition! Looks something like this https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11 Lots of NIB off brand old computers, PCs, like Apex by Compaq Most of the stuff is PC or laptop related Let me know what u want and what u want to pay, I will bring it home and ship. Car will only hold so much.

Procedure to convert a vax into a stand alone workstation in a LAN

by ce.murillosanchez＠gmail.com

Hello; In my quest to try to see what the problem is with my vs/60, I want to convert it into a networked stand-alone machine, i.e. not use clustering at all.? What is the easiest way to do this? I still want it to do DECnet and TCPIP. Carlos.

Looking for DEC M8017-AA jumper settings

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Mister PDP > reading through the "DLV11-E and DLV11-F asynchronous line interface > user's manual", the diagrams of the DLV11-E and F do not line up my > module. Oh, must be a later board rev, one that's not covered in EK-DLV11-OP-001. (I should have compared your pic with the manual illustration, sorry.) {Checks} Yes, there is a D rev etch; see page 22-3 of the "Microcomputer Products Handbook" (perhaps the single most useful book for early QBUS stuff - anyone who's working with that stuff should get one - they're not too hard to find on eBait). The layout corresponds with the image of yours. Noel

Looking for DEC M8017-AA jumper settings

According to EK-DLV11-OP-001, an M8017 _is_ a DLV11-E? If you need config info for a DLV11 (M7940), it's available in the "LSI-11, PDP-11/03 User's Manual" (EK-LSI11-TM-003), available in BitSavers.
