AS/400e 9401-150 server still needs a home - metro west Boston, MA

by jtp＠chinalake.com

Why yes, this is a repost from a few months ago. A few contacts, but no one has come through. I will recycle it in a week if there is no firm commitment to collect--gotta go. ------------------------------ Not really classic in this model, however: I have an AS/400e 9401-150 server and associated hardwarethat needs a new home. I obtained it last year and do not have the bandwidth to do anything with it. I have not powered the server up, but I was told itworks. The front appears to have taken a hit in thelower left (dented grate behind and screw mountsnapped--reglued) and the face shows some scrapes. One thin horizontal molding (separator) is broken, and can be glued. Theback half-round cover is missing. I believe the previous owner obtained it 2nd hand for dev work. 2-32 meg memmodules, 2-4.x gig drives (59H7001) se scsi, CD, QIC 4/8 DL SLR5 tape drive, 90H9241 twinax card. IBM 3477 InfoWindow terminal w/ 122 key kb. Found that thepower button needs to be pressed down a bit when released (for ON) to have it catch. IBM 3197 terminal sans keyboard--never got it. Term powers up with 0A00 and 'k' on the bottom center. Two lexmark 4028 AS1 laser printers. I have a note onone from last year that the pickup roller is toast.The other says OK, but I will check again. Box of cables. Mostly T adapters or 9 and 15 pinD-subs, one twinax cable, one MAU (really), two terms, one8-port fan-out (21F5093), and second 8-port fanout (mod# ?),plus a few baluns and odd pieces. There are plenty ofTs, but you will probably need more cable to hook up more than one or two devices. A few misc docs. CD/Floppies: V4 OS, Client Access for 95/NT, LanStreamer, PCI diags Images:www.flickr.com/photos/31439100 at N05/sets/72157624713623016/ I don't want to part it out if I can help it--goes as onegroup. I'll keep the printer with the toasted roller forparts if it isn't wanted. Metro-west Boston, MA.Pick-up, or I'll deliver inside the 495 area on myschedule. I will store for a while, if you are really going to collect it, or relay it. --Jimjtp at chinalake.com

Not mine, but I should like. But sadly, I can't take charge of this monster now. Hope that someone could approach it better. http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250712182525&ssPageName=S… -- Sergio http://es.linkedin.com/in/sergiopedraja

Moving House - Need to downsize

by williams.dan＠gmail.com

Hi, I am moving to a smaller place and need to off-load some bits I am not going to have space for. An Octane (works but case in a bad shape) dual processor sse graphics it had 1gb of memory but some was bad, I think it's 768mb A Sun Blade 2000 Dual processors with 1gb memory and 18gb drive. 2 rack mount sparc machines with 2xmachines in each unit (Non sun) I think they are 500mhz and 1gb memory A Dell Itanium rack mount machine which won't run VMS. I Vax 4000/90 with a non working PSU A non working ex-millitary oscilloscope I need to check but a number of vt220 terminals with keyboards. I'm sure these will be popular: I have 8x big heavy drive DSSI drive units. They have not been powered up for a few years. They have scsi-->dssi convertor cards in them. They currently have 1GB and 2GB full height drive units in them. But they can take up to 9GB. I also have cabling which I have to sort out mainly for SUN and DEC. I have all the cabling for the dssi drives and a lot of monitor and other cables for Vaxstation 3100's. I am based in Central London and all of the machines are too heavy for me to ship. But let me know I'm sure we can work something out. These are available for free, but as at the moment the only machines I am keeping (or allowed to keep) are my RM machines I am interested in any cables software and monitors for 380Z, 480Z and early PC's I am going to be quite busy all over the weekend, so I may not get a chance to reply until monday.

8008 undocumented opcodes?

by jonnosan＠gmail.com

There are a couple of gaps in the documented opcodes for the 8008, namely: 0x22, 0x2a, 0x32,0x38,0x39,0x3a Is the behavior of the 8008 CPU when executing any of these bytes described anywhere?

Specific maindec for the PDP-8/L ?

by jdr_use＠bluewin.ch

There are a lot of maindec ppt images on the net, but I fail to find 8/L specific ones. Or could I just use the 8/I maindec to check out the 8/l core stack, since they share the same stack ? Jos

Oldest original proper computer (stored program etc)

by roger.holmes＠microspot.co.uk

> From: Charlie Carothers <csquared3 at tx.rr.com> > According to this: > http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/650/650_ch1.html the first > 650 was installed at a customer site in December, 1954. Indeed but when was the machine which is working first? The 'Mini' car was first sold in 1959 but some are older than others, indeed a car of the same name is still in production. I'm now after the oldest ten working stored program computers. I'd also be interested in the oldest working stored program computers with core memory. Thank you very much for your efforts. > I thought this was pretty interesting as well: > http://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/mainframe/mainframe_FT1.html > It indicates the 701 was around in 1952.

It even includes the first machine I ever wrote a program for, the IBM 7094 (in Fortran IV using the Purdue University Fast Fortran Translator). I too will have to crawl around the tree and hopefully learn more about the early IBM machines.

Apple IIa

by robert.jarratt＠ntlworld.com

A friend has found that he has an Apple IIa with two Apple disk drives. I know nothing about Apple machines and would like to tell him if this is something relatively rare or still quite common. I know I asked a similar question a while ago for another friend but I have been unable to find the email in the archives so I don't know if I am asking about the same model again this time. Any information appreciated Thanks Rob

I would have been very annoyed if I bought it and discovered the only information on the 1301 was mainly what I had written myself on Wikipedia. I knew it had been copied onto other web site but at least they were free. Every now and again I do a search on ICT 1301 and the number of hits keeps expanding. A few real gems get added sometimes and a lot of stuff about Info & Comms Technology (hence ICT) which happens to have 1301 on the page but almost every time there is a new web site or two with yet another copy of my words. Why do they bother?
