IF you need these old vintage parts, PLEASE grab them before the keyboard keids do!

by sales＠elecplus.com

https://www.elecshopper.com/vintage-computers.html I really would rather these go to someone who needs them to complete a system than to the destroyers of keyboards. I am trying to get more of the vintage stuff listed. If you want to see items as they are listed online, please turn on your RSS feeds. https://www.elecshopper.com/rss/ Cindy Croxton Electronics Plus 1613 Water Street Kerrville, TX 78028 830-370-3239 cell sales at elecplus.com --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

If I recall correctly the ES45s each have 2 CPUs. The three ES45s are not intentical, the one that was purchased first had a CPU upgrade after a couple years but I do not recall either part number. I have no idea what the other two have for CPUs. Two of them have 32Gbyte of RAM, the cold spare is unknown. > Also: ?...The AlphaServer SC was a supercomputer constructed from a set of These were single computers that happen to be in the same rack.

Anything Tru64 Unix does VMS does better. Anything Linux does Tru64 Unix does better. Have I made my bigotry clear? You will seriously raise your electric bill and somewhat lower your heating bill. All of this hardware is 120V single phase but it would like a couple circuit breakers all to itself. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV : "...underneath those tuques we wear, Athabasca, Alberta Canada : our heads are naked!" ** rlloken at telus.net ** : - Arthur Black

Lots of unused CompacTape IV Cartridges Available

by rlloken＠telus.net

I have access to a trove of maybe 10 dozen unused CompacTape IV cartridges. These can be had free for the cost of shipping. I may be able to talk them out of a few DLT4000 and DLT tape drives as well, I don't know about that part. Anybody besides me still backing up his data on DLTs? I have a lifetime of spare cartridges already. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV : "...underneath those tuques we wear, Athabasca, Alberta Canada : our heads are naked!" ** rlloken at telus.net ** : - Arthur Black

I can get the sleds if they are of use to you.

I am willing to send small quantities of things hither and yon. Shipping a DS15 will be hard work but possible, shipping an ES45 will be seriously hard. I am unwilling to box and ship the RA8000/HSG80 but I am willing to part it out. Anybody who wants to come visit Athabasca with a 1/2 ton truck can have the whole lot including the 7 foot rack or a subset of the whole. I would be thrilled not to have to pack and ship stuff. -- Richard Loken VE6BSV : "...underneath those tuques we wear, Athabasca, Alberta Canada : our heads are naked!" ** rlloken at telus.net ** : - Arthur Black

Core memory emulator using non volatile ram.

by ggs＠shiresoft.com

FRAM or MRAM. I make extensive use of them in my projects. Everspin has a few (all SMT and 3.3v). As I recall they run ~$20/ea for 4Mb (512K x 8 or 256K x 16).
