SC008-AB, one with an "A" and one with a "B" on
it, has many
(maybe 20) TNC Jacks monted on it, some with
'terminators' on it.
Does anyone know what this is? I'm intrigued by
it.
$5 each + shipping
StarCoupler, for CI. For the benefit of those of you that aren't
familiar with it, CI is a
70 Mbit/second network (somewhat similar to Ethernet) which DEC
introduced in 1981. It was originally supported on the DECSYSTEM-20
and VAX-11/780, and the HSC50 was used to attach disk and tape drives
to CI clusters. The Star Coupler is a passive device that acts as a
hub.
I'm still looking for an HSC50 on the west coast. Someone offered
to sell me one that is stored in Houston, and if I get sufficiently
desperate I'll buy that one.
Where were you when I posted about the two free HSC50 controllers
and drives in Michigan a couple of months ago?
I'm probably going to have a couple of HSC95 controllers and
RA73 drives available later.
