More stuff acquired

Hi, Well this just goes to show how innate this collecting behavior is or maybe I could blame it on altruism? I went back to the surplus store today and picked up the old HP system that was there. This was not as simple as it sounds. The system was wired into a 5 bay 19" rack assemblage. The item obtained is an "HP 2100S Microprogrammable Systems Computer". It looks just like the 2100A shown at: www.trailingedge.com The card cage is fully populated but I haven't a clue at this point with what, with the exception that I already know it does have an async card (with associated moniter) and a GPIB card (and cable). I don't know what condition this is in other than the whole rack of equipment looks like it was decomissioned while still working. Most parts were still wired up. It hadn't been plundered (one or two rack slots were newly emptied). This unit appears to be in good shape. No dents or bent edges. One of the front switch covers is missing (these look like they pop off for lamp replacement). I even have the key for the power lock, an obvious indication that it has been taken care of! There was another expansion card frame in the same rack. Similar box but with no front panel switches. I didn't get this. It is probably still available. I also didn't get any of the i/o card edge connector cables that connect to the other equipment in the 5 bay unit. As it was it took me over an hour to extract this thing from its nest. I did take the GPIB and async i/o cables. Anyone interested in trading something for this beast? The biggest problem I see is that this thing weights about 100 lbs. It would be expensive to ship. Jon
