Hi Joe,
Where is this scrap place you are talking about?
I know there are a couple of them here, never thought of looking there
before. Do they sell you the stuff as scrap ?
Or by the pound..?
Phil..

Subject: more interesting finds!
I went to a scrap place yesterday and found a couple of
interesting items.
One is a 16K core memory board for a Data General Nova. Huge sucker! It's
marked "DATA GENERAL CORP DGC NOVA 800 16K MEMORY STACK copyright 1973".
Anyone need this or should I just hang it on the wall to admire?
I also found several odd looking boxs that are labled as HDS ViewStation.
they're made by a company called Human Designed Systems. They're about 2"
tall and 12" square. They have connectors for all the following; thick and
thin ethernet, twisted pair, sun keyboard, standard PC keyboard, RJ serial
port, DB-25 serial, DB-25 parallel, PS-2 mouse and standard VGA video.
Does anyone know what these are or why they have so many ports?
Joe
