Well, I just got done winching the CDC 9766 drive down off my
truck, and boy are my arms tired...
The system is CPU, 32M of ram, 16 I/O ports, a Century 300M 10"
drive, a Seagate Sabre attached to a SCSI PORT!! (yay!) a Kennedy
9100 in Prime livery, and the usual load of cables and Stuff.
Also: I got the OS (PrimeOS 7.0 rev 20.2.8), a bunch of other
tapes, including a 7" reel marked 'games'. and several boxes of
docs and manuals. I have no idea how to tell what overall 'model'
the system is.. if the Primes went by models, like DEC PDP11, etc.
I was not all that interested in this machine, since I am *trying*
to stick to DEC and only DEC, but now that it's here I think it
might be fun to play with.
Oh, yeah, it has a Decwriter IV for a console... even came with
several boxes of spare ribbons.
It was heading for the dumpster.. I *had* to save it. The machine
was running when taken out of service and was de-commissioned by the
person who bought and operated it, so every thing was marked and
stored properly.
Cool... **another** project. ;}
And, other than the Seagate drive ('91), it's On Topic.
Cheers
John
