Free to a good home:
2 Tandem Himalaya K200 mainframes (circa 1993, according to the date stamps inside), a
disk array, some spare disks, two terminals, assorted system cabling, spare internal cards
and spare internal disks.
The fellow I got them from worked for NYSE Euronext, and said that they were used there
before he acquired them through official channels after they were decommissioned. I have a
printout of an e-mail to that effect, which also includes instructions for bringing them
up?something I?ve never tried to do. They take a couple C19 power cords (provided) on an
8A circuit, and are reportedly working.
They are large (76x102x53cm) and heavy (two strong people can lift one, just). Location is
Noord-Holland, Netherlands. If you?re interested in collecting them or you are willing to
arrange your own pallet collection by courier, please contact me off list.
