Coming back from a long road trip to Radiofest in Elgin, IL, I stopped by
Fair Radio Sales in Lima, OH. On a shelf I saw what looked to be a decent
Kaypro 2X. If anyone is interested, drop them an email (search the Web
for the address). I have no idea what they wanted for it, nor its
electrical condition.
While there, I found a slim manual to the CDC 6000 series machines.
Something about SCOPE...I suppose I ought to read it.
I am also now the proud owner of an SGI 4D/380 (and most of another
4D/380). Physically it is in very good shape, but apparently it is quite
sick. 8 processors, buckets of SIMMs, neeto graphics, but the best thing
is the "CPU Power Meter" on the front of the cabinet...
Does anyone have IRIX on 1/4" tape?

Two scrappers located in Melbourne, Florida. I can get you their phone
numbers but I doubt they'd be interested in shipping anything unless you're
willing to pay a handsome price.

This is only partly true: as soon as someone bids - Ebay takes 5% of the bid
regardless of whether or not the reserve was met. So if last time the bids
went up to $5000 - Ebay has billed him $250 + $2.
So I don't know why he doesn't just start the lowest bid at his reserve
price???? This is the same guy who lists a URL to an Ebay hints and tips
page. Perhaps he has some kind of psychological angle...

I don't have it but it's not that hard to find or copy. I use a MV2000
or RQDX3 formatter on PDP-11.

Well you can get the CDrom (see decus). Even if you don't have a CDrom
on a VAX you may find someone that does.

unibus is always harder to find eithernet and SCSI boards for. For Qbus
that would be less difficult as the DEQNA/DELQA and several vendors for
scsi cards.

I took a look at this myself; I had to go see for myself.
People, I've gotta tell you, this is way past the merely
crazy-- this is total, unbridled, runaway *insanity* !
What is *our* hobby comming to? Whats next? Celebs
pooling their money for the original source listing
of AppleBASIC? (Complete with annotations by Bill Himself,
sealed in an argon-filled case?!?!)
This is becomming worse than those damned BeanieBabies (tm).
Oy, I think I need a stiff drink now . . .

If they're not willing to sell them, I know two places here in Florida
that are! They scrap out MACs by the dozens!

Tony,
That may be a good idea. Basic meetings would be the first step.

I got another HP toy today. Another HP 9821! I already have one and
this is only the third one in existance that I know of. A collector in New
York has the other one. Does anyone know where I can find some manuals
for a HP 9820 or HP 9821?
Joe
