EBAY Alternatives, was Re: eBay Monkey Business

by marvin＠west.net

I stopped selling on ebay before the January 29th announcment and am totally disgusted with what passes for management. (major rant deleted) Search youtube for ebay boycott or ebay strike and there are a number of "editorials" there as well. I suggested to Sellam that NOW would be a good time to get the Vintage Computer Marketplace back online, but it hasn't happened yet. Since I haven't kept track, are there other classic computer related places to buy and sell? A "yes" answer should be followed by the sites URL :). > In case you all had not noticed, there was a major change at Ebay this > week.

Burroughs B80 rescued

by joreilly＠pacbell.net

Ian, Do you have the disk controller board for the B80? I developed it back in 1973. If you do could you email me a jpg of it? It has a certain nostalgia value. It is also the first ASIC disk controller in the industry, and I'd like to at least get the photo into the Computer Museum in Sunnyvale. If there is any thing I can help you with on the machine, just let me know. I also ran the team that developed the floppy disk drive on the unit. Jim O'Reilly

Q-bus SCSI Controllers RFI

by mjd.bishop＠emeritus-solutions.com

Q-bus (BA 23, BA123 & (with mods to the mounting hardware) BA213) SCSI controllers. What works (in particular with disks + MSCP + VMS), how well and what's still about ? What I know is: CMD CDQ-220/TM supports disks and tapes, and works with RZ2x disks / MSCP / VMS DEC KZQSA-AA (aka M5976-AA) is the BA23 Q-bus SCSI controller CMD CDQ-223/TM is a 220 with EMC shielding for a BA213 box What I'm curious to know is: - What boards were made and which are commonly available e.g. DEC KZQSA, CMD CDQ-220, Dilog SQ706 ?, Emulex UC02 ?, Andromeda SCDC-11 ?, ... - The relative (to SCSI 1) performance of each of the boards - Which boards are "dogs" : gotchas, tape only, unreliability / electronics failures And, some specific queries are: - What is the difference between a CDQ-220/xxx and a CDQ-220A/xxx ? - What is the functionality of a CDQ-243 (quad board, BA213 cab kit, 2 SCSI connectors) wrt a CDQ-220 / 223 ?

by RodSmallwood＠mail.ediconsulting.co.uk

Well yes, its for the CD ROM holding the VMS distribution. However it does at least recognize a DEC RZ series disk. I worked for DEC for a long time and 'unsupported' means field service did not have funding for what could be non-Dec (SCSI) devices on the controller because DSSI was DEC's own SCSI variant. It does not mean 'this does not work' In fact DEC engineers routinely evaluated third party SCSI drives on it.

The KZQSA was the controller that generally was used to attach a SCSI CDROM to a later model QBUS MicroVAX or VAX 4000. I seem to remember posts on here indicating that you could also use it for a single SCSI disk, and it mostly worked, as long as it didn't have >1 device on it. Other than that, IIRC, it's VMS-only.

VAX wish list.

by RodSmallwood＠mail.ediconsulting.co.uk

Hi I have nearly all I need to do a Vax cluster. Namely a VAX 4000 model 200 , a 300 and a 500. I'm a few bits short for the 300.: 1. The Console Bulkhead Assembly. (70-27400-01) Its like a door to the Processor / Memory mounting area. 2. The top part of the two part front door on the BA440 3 One or more RF series drives and the Bezel Assembly (70-27049-02) 4. Filler strips to go over empty Qbus slots. 5. A KZQSA SCSI controller. I can get this stuff from theUS but the price is a rip-off and the shipping horrendous. If anybody has or knows where to get any of these items in the UK or Europe I would be pleased to hear from them. Rod Smallwood The DECcollector
