So I went back to the University of Michigan property disposition after a
two year hiatus, and they actually have a few interesting things...
A BIG SGI IRIS, I think it was a 3000, but it looked even larger than
pictures I've seen of those.
A giant Compaq ProLiant, I'd say P3 vintage, with a dozen PCI slots, sitting
on top of a huge disk array. The whole thing was about five feet tall.
A bunch of Dell and Compaq disk arrays, housing mostly Seagate U160 drives,
so maybe 18GB X 8?
A Digital StorageWorks tape backup autoloader cabinet.
A bunch of IBM tape and CD-ROM drives, of RISCSystem/6000 vintage.
A few Sun Ultra 1's and Ultra 60's.
A lonely and beaten-up IBM 3151 terminal, probably from a library.
The prices were somewhat reasonable for most of this stuff, which was
surprising given their method of checking eBay for appropriate pricing.
Boxes of early PCI cards, including some nice Yamaha and Ensoniq audio
cards, and various off-brand SCSI cards.
They had a big shipment of interesting Pro A/V equipment, I picked up a
Panasonic world-standard VCR (PAL/Secam/etc...) and a nice Tascam tape deck.
They had some Sony Umatic tape stuff as well. Someone was walking out with a
pallet of cool stuff, I recognized a few Rane parametric EQ's and a Tascam
pro DAT deck.
Very tempting were two big, lab-grade ionizing lasers, complete with power
supplies/cooling units. Always wanted one of those...
Good hunting!
