I have decided it is time to clean out some of the
computer stuff.
Hi Mike!
One of my classic computer interests is VMEbus gear. I see you have some
modules. Could I obtain the ones I pointed out below?
Also have the following loose VME bus cards:
VME Module 01-W3471, circa 1987
contains: 68020, 68851, 4mb of 1Mx1; front panel has leds for
Fail, Halt, Run, Scon, push switches for Abort & Reset, and
a 25 pin D connector. Have 2 of these.
I would like one. Interesting module number. Is this 01-W3471 number on one
of the ejector levers (like "MVME147SC-1" would be on the unit below?) Any
EPROMS from Motorola onboard?
MVME147SC-1. circa 1990
CPU with around 8mb of RAM
This one I could use as a spare for my similar model '147. I have a system
running OS-9/68k v. 2.4. Still have its Moto EPROMS?
MVME931-1
This is a wire wrap prototyping board
Yes! I want to do some good ol' fashioned hardware hacking on my VME crate.
This would do it!
The next card is for the VME bus but is labeled Jupiter Technologies.
I suspect it came from a UGC box. It contains a 68000 and around
2mb of RAM, it is marked as being an 'IOP' card.
What's a 'UGC'?
'IOP' could probably mean I/O Processor.
The last 2 cards were custom made by a local company and are probably
of no use to anybody. Listed here to more or less keep track.
Any idea as to what their function was? Any CPU's onboard?
Condition of all this is unknown.

Hewlett Packard
Model 2631G
132 column dot matrix printer
This has a 24 pin connector similar to the 36 pin Centronics
connector. Does anybody know the interface on this one?
It's an HPIB, aka (officially) IEEE-488.
I have two of the non-G versions (2631A). Wish I could get this but I can't
justify the shipping even if you were able to ship it. Any extra manuals
for this critter tho?

Micropolis
Model 1325 70mb hard drive
This is a loose one, and condition is unknown

DEC
MicroVax 2000
I have the case, boards and power supply. The RD54 was snatched up
by a subscriber just recently.
Yeah, it was me!! Thanks again. It works okay too!
Also have a spare MS400 2mb board and this is unused still in
original box.
What's an MS400?? Just curious.
For whatever is available out of this list I will certainly at least cover
shipping costs and expenses.
Thanks Mike. Hope you had a good Christmas. I'm setting here coughing to
death from a doggone heavy cold I picked up last week. Ugh! Shoveling snow
to get Santa to come near the roof of the house got to me I guess ;-)
Best regards, Chris
