'Gloat list'

Ok... you can blame John Lawson for reminding me about this. I just got back from my annual scrounge trip to the Bay Area. Said trip netted me a good-sized pile. While not all of it is "classic," I figure it's worth posting. * Upgrade components for my own system to K6-2/400, etc. * A Digilog 300 datascope. Haven't fired that one up yet. * My very first DEC Alpha system -- specifically, a 3000/600. * Two Wellfleet routers. * A Livingston 'Portmaster' IRX/Firewall router. * A stack of DEC'ish boards, including a pair of Dilog DQ132's, a DQ686, and a pair of Sigma RQD11E QBus ESDI controllers. * A collection of pre-divestiture Bell System technical manuals (Station Services, Key System Services, and Data Services). These are the white paperbacks with the yellow/blue skunk stripes and the pre-breakup Bell logo. * A Sorensen 0-40V/25A power supply (Heavy!) * A nice tabletop VME chassis that still had a Force Computers 68040 CPU board installed. * A big Cabletron network hub chassis with 60(!) 10Base-T ports in the form of five 12-port cards. I got it 'cause the backplane is rated for FDDI, and I figure that means I can also use 100Base-T on it if I can find the appropriate card. * A pair of Sun SPARCStation IPC's. * Keyboard/Video/Mouse extender for PCs. * Adobe Acrobat 4.0 for around $80. That's all I can think of at the moment. Some of it is for future projects, and some for current ones. All I can say is I'm glad to be back. That was a long trip!
