Subject: A good day at the Auction.
Hi All,
Well it was a good day for classic stuff at the U of A auction today.
For a whopping $2.50 i got:
A HP 9000 200 (double stack), have not looked inside yet. powers on but I
need
to make a cable for a serial console.
A HP 7673 Controller! Whatever that is (same kind of case as the 9000 200)
A HP external storage case w/HDD a floppy with HP1B connector
A HP 9000 Apollo series 400, boots fine but has no HDD.
AND a box of around hundred and fifty 5 1/4 floppies that included:
1 complete set of AT&T Unix PC V.3.0 (32 disks) and probably 3-4 more
"broken"
sets that are missing a few disks.
I wanna kick myself for passing on the AT&T 7300 in pristine condition
about
two months ago for about $5.00 concluding I'd
never find the Unix to go
with it.
Go figure.
Cheers,
Tom
