Hi all,
The stuff mentioned in the Jeff's message on alt.sys.pdp11, and
forwarded to the list by both Frank Arnold and Bill Maddox:
Hi, I frequent the University of California - Santa
Barbara surplus
store and noticed they have the following PDP stuff
that is heading
for the scrap heap this week unless someone comes and
buys it (and
considering that the alternative is scrap prices,
it'll probably go
cheap):
(from memory, so it's probably 85% accurate):
- 4 waist-high 19" racks containing the PDP stuff.
- 2 each PDP-11/23 rackmounted
- 2 each PDP-11/73 rackmounted
- at least 4 RL02 drives
- a couple or more RC25 (I think) cartridge drives
- other random equipment that I can't identify
- 2 Decwriter line printers/consoles
- A big push cart full of (looks like unused) RL02
packs and RC25
carts.
- RSX manuals and a bunch of other documents
All this stuff came from an installation that was
finally turned off, so it looks complete.
has been, um, saved. Although it was farther away than I thought,
I was in the area, so went ahead and contacted Jeff at UCSB, and
we dealt with it today.
Since I am not going to physically move the machines back to Holland,
they will become available at some later date. If you really want a
working, racked PDP-11/(23,73) with RL02 drive, and are either in the
Los Angeles area, or willing to either drive a bit or have it shipped,
drop me a message!
(ohyeah, the same goes for the two DECwriter III (LA120)'s that came
with the stuff, as I will keep only one.
Cheers,
Fred
