Through a random eBay purchase, I found a nice little
collection of
stuff in San Jose, CA near 880/101. The owner's name is Tom Thinh,
and he's got a 10'x20' (-ish) unit packed with stuff he's trying to
sell. He says he's been collecting the stuff for years. He seems
friendly and reasonable to haggle with as a businessman. I asked him
if it would be OK to pass along his information to the list, he was
happy for me to do so.
While I was there picking up an AT&T Unix PC, I saw the following:
- Another AT&T Unix PC.
- Some AT&T 3B2's.
- A stack of pizza-box VAXen of various types.
- MicroVAX I or II in a BA-123 chassis (couldn't see the badge).
- A Symbolics 3610 [NB: I saw a keyboard, but didn't see the Symbolics
console anywhere, but he says he thinks he has it in there...
somewhere]
- A BeBox.
- A small army of NeXTstation - both color and mono,
lots of monitors and keyboards and sound boxes. Also
a couple of printers in original boxes.
- Amigas (at least one 2000 and a 4000 with video toaster).
- VT100 terminal.
- Several Data General 9-track tapes (what looked like
an A/OS distribution? DG is not my strong suit).
I wasn't going to read this, then I did. Then I wished I hadn't. Wrong side
of the Pond :/
