There's definitely more, but this will be it for now. This is surely the list of items that I need to get rid of most 'urgently' (especially in terms or regaining space). I'm above all offering all of this because I've transitioned back to the world of graphic design and art, so much of this won't be of much use anymore to me. In some instances I'm selling because I need the space or because I have or am going to upgrade (especially in the case of the SGI Tezro workstation). In case you were wondering about it. Anyway, I would like to sell all of this (unless there is something interesting to trade, that could be of use to a graphic designer like myself). If I don't manage to sell it here, I will either place things on (e.g.) eBay, part out, or recycle much of it, in the near future. - MG

AMPEX memory for PDP11

by useddec＠gmail.com

I recently came across two AMPEX 3281100-03 16K x 16 core boards (top board 3281517-01) and want to put then in an 11/05. Does anyone have any info on these? I'm trying to find backplane, jumper, voltage and any other info. Thanks, Paul

getting the most out of my compaq 386

by starbase89＠gmail.com

Hi. I recently acquired a Compaq Portable 386. I know its not quite old enough for this list, but I figured there might be someone on here who knows about what I'm looking for. My goal is to make this machine capable of modern tasks. First, I am looking for the expansion chassis so I can add a networking card. It currently had a QIC tape drive in the expansion slot. I was also wondering if the 20MHz 386 could be upgraded to a 486, or perhaps a Pentium Overdrive. Thanks for any info in advance, Joe

Shugart 850 vs. 851

by cctalk＠fahimi.net

I've looked through manuals and can't come up with something definitive: what is the difference between the 850 and an 851 (or for that matter 800 vs. 801 or 900 vs. 901)? TIA! -Ali

Ignore what I just said. You were referencing Paul's 370 of course, not his 709. I am two generations off at least. Too much wine in France tonight.

Yes! a PDP8/f in the collection

by simski＠dds.nl

Hello all We at hack42.nl are very proud to announce that we have a dec pdp8/f in the collection. it is part of a lab system and has a BA8-AA with some more boards. The most inportant is that we have several boxes of documentation, logbooks, field service reports, print sheets, software on papertape and 8"floppy. only the wrappings of the sandwiches of the field engineers are missing. :-) We have not fired the machine up yet, but taken a lot of pictures and document the configuration. first we need to check and condition the lineair powersupplies for the 8/f and the BA8-AA and clean the airflow filter foam. this is a fruitious 2014 so far for hack42, with the haul in august not even sorted out yet... Oh and Jack Rubin: there is a 16kword Keronix 812075 in this machine as well. maybe we can compare things later on. pictures: https://hack42.nl/gallery/v/Museum/pdp8/ info on this machine so far: https://hack42.nl/wiki/Digital_PDP-8f -- Met vriendelijke Groet, Simon Claessen drukknop.nl

They had three leads with the two outside leads internally connected together, so it didn't matter which way around you inserted them. m
