What I should probably point out...

The following is for sale, or trade possibly.
(I've tried to send this

post this...)
Most of the listed items I've used together with SGI IRIX and
HP/Compaq/DEC OpenVMS and Digital/Tru64 UNIX systems and served me very
well.
I need to sell this by the end of the month (Nov-2016), else I'll have

to potentially scrap a considerable bunch of it.

The highest priority of things that have to go, as they take a lot of
space here:
- APC Smart-UPS 3000 XLM (heavy-duty, 3000VA
capacity) UPS
back-up battery aggregate power system, plus special APC RJ-45 USB cable
(the whole unit is perhaps hard to ship, but not impossible I guess),
this UPS can sustain e.g. several 2U and even some 4U HP Integrity
servers for up to 30~40 minutes (depending on the loads, of course);
[...]
- various HP, AXUS and Ciprico brand Ultra320 SCSI/S-ATA-bridged
& 2-Gbit or 4-Gbit FC external enclosures, for HDDs (optionally
including large capacity HDDs, also hardware RAID functionality
depending per enclosure), 5?" devices and more (these can be tricky to
ship, but not impossible), to summarize some of it:
-- AXUS Demon SA-16U4P Ultra320 SCSI<=>S-ATA RAID storage
enclosure, including 16 * 1-Tbyte S-ATA HDDs and spares --> advantages:
relative low power consumption and triple-redundant power
-- Ciprico/Huge Systems MediaVault 4-Gbit FC/FC-AL RAID disk
array, including transceivers, 10 * 250-Gbyte P-ATA HDDs plus one or
more spare HDDs --> advantages: low power consumption and rather silent
-- HP StorageWorks M5313A FC/FC-AL 2-Gbit (JBOD) disk array,
including transceivers and 14 * 146.8-Gbyte FC HDDs and one or two spare
HDDs, too --> note: perhaps not useful for OpenVMS users as-is, as
JBOD and FC-AL are a no-go, but it can be used in a larger SAN setup;
[...]
- HP StorageWorks 3U external 5?" SCSI expansion enclosure, room
for 4 (68-pin) SCSI devices (including optical drives, tape drives and
including full-height models);
[...]
- SGI parts, like an SGI Tezro dual-processor 700-MHz R16000
system board [...];
[...]
- various optical/tape drives and media (e.g. DVD-RAM, various
data & cleaning tapes, of which many brand new), DDS/DAT of many types
(e.g. DDS-2/DAT12, DDS-3/DAT24, DDS-4/DAT40 and DDS-5/DAT72) Ultrium
(mostly LTO-1 and LTO-3), mostly of brands like HP (notably), Quantum
and Sony... [...]
-- Quantum Ultrium LTO-1 SCSI full-height tape drive
[...]
All the items are located in the Netherlands. I'll provide more
information and pictures on demand.
People in Europe, nearby to the Netherlands, are welcome to come by, I
could possibly split shipping costs, too.
I also don't need a fortune for some of these things. A fair price will
help to motivate me, needless to say (I paid everything I own out of my
own pocket, very little was ever given to me for free... and none of the
above was.)
Thanks for your possible interest.
