Can someone point me in the direction of info on the Sun SServer 690MP. I
have read THE SUN HARDWARE REFERENCE
compiled by James W. Birdsall and need more info.
I seem to have gotten a board set, no backplane, and am interested in
identifying some of the cards. Also looking for more info on the Ross CPU? Is
anyone running one?
OT because it seem to date from 1993.
Have CPU (dual Ross 40 MHz) wi 2 differential SCSI & Fiber & 128 meg ram.
501-2055 wi 2X 501-1902 & 370-1388
Extra memory card wi 128 Meg. 501-1767
PDX92B VME card to SBus ??? 201 963-02
3 IPI controllers 501-1539 & 2X 501-1855
HP 2xxx stuff
Just received this from someone who posted a paper tape punch on eBay.
I asked if he had anything else. Someone on the East Coast may be able
to work something out with him.

Hi Al,
No 2100 series stuff available but I do have a fair bit of 21MX and
HP 1000 [series E and F] computers and pieces around. Also just hit the
motherload on 2100 documentation----binders full! Am in the process of
sorting it all out. What are you in need of and are you close enough to
Roanoke for some heavy stuff. I've got a number of NICE rack cabinets
and a bunch of the big floor model disc drives in storage and rack mount
disc controllers. Also 2 or 3 of the 7970?? Reel to Reel
data recorders [HEAVY!!]. Lots of 2640 terminals and some of the later
terminals for the 3000 series.
I'm cleaning out a warehouse full of stuff I recently bought and really
am not sure of total numbers of stuff that will be available [or what
else is in there] Every day is a new find. Let me know what your looking
for and I'll do some digging.
Regards, Craig

Well, Joe, you are a good scrounger. I bet you will find another. Out of
curiosity what was he asking for the set?

I've had that one for awile and think I've mentioned it before, but....
Yep, she's a beaut... Its an Advanced Micro Devices Am2901 Evaluation and
Learning Kit. It's basicly a complete front panel board with the cpu and
everything.. It works. It has 3 nibbles of LEDs (for data display,
pipeline register, and microword memory) and toggles for address, data,
ram/mux select, run, load, and single-stepping.

"Careful Al,
You never know who's on the list server."
I figured you'd probably be here, but since you didn't post that
the stuff was available..
"No, pinhead, you give me a price, and I say 'yes' or 'no' to it..."
Did I say this was about you?

Yeah, I was there and pretty appaled too. Especially having to wait on the
owner's cheesy computer and connection speed to get the price quote. ;)
The scary thing is that this is where the Univac is and a resuce may entail
a purchase at Ebay's street price... LOL!

545A and 10525T probes came with my first 5036A trainer.

" Based on my conversations with him, I don't think he's
interested in selling anything off of E-bay"
My 'favorite' line from eBay sellers is
"If you're interested in something, let me know and I'll list
it on eBay"
No, pinhead, you give me a price, and I say 'yes' or 'no' to it...
Hmm... How big are we talking here?

It's almost in Orlando, FL. I'd probably be available to help in a rescue
attempt... ;)

Hi everyone,
What a cool day. I woke up to a beautiful Florida morning and hopped in
the car and drove to Orlando and met Joe to 'hit the spots' (Thanks for
comming out to play, Joe!)
One stop yielded a Motorola EXORcisor chassis(woo hoo!), two ASR-32's with
tape r/w er's , and a 20 slot crate based on a General Micro Systems
6502/6802/6809/z80 sbc/card (currently with the 6809 module installed. It
has ports for pinter, i/o, rs232, and ieee-488) from circa 83 maybe...with
other cards including a Smoke Signal Broadcasting DCB-4E, a Digalog Systems
64k mem,. a Digalog Systems T Buss Controller, and a few other ufo's.
Anyone know anything about this one?
Also obtained on the trip: a pdp 11/05 that has the front panel, an ICE
sytem for Intel's 960/20, several boards with memory and a few with some
Am2901 processors, and a Fourth Cartridge (and entire setup) for a Commie
64.
I saw alot of interesting things that didn't come home with me (...yet...
;)) letsee.... The coolest was probably the Univac 1540. Never seen one
before, it had a lot of dings but *GREAT* front panallage and full
headdress. Wish someone would save that one. Something else I almost
picked up was an Intel GUIO MCS-51 thingy that I'm sure will cause regret in
time.
Well, guess I'll go play...
;)
