OT: not actually classic systems but interesting and/or useful as DEC
hardware
I am working my way through storage. Several DEC PCs need a new home as
well as an MV3100-80, several DEC SCSI drives and cables, etc. The PCs are
not 'classic' but are part of the DEC story. All free with the caveat that
you will not turn around and sell off the systems or memory--people with
sharp pointy oscilloscope probes will visit you in the night if you do. I
will, however, never turn away donations of cash or Guinness, to support
body and soul. The units have been in climate managed storage for what
that's worth. I am in metro-west Boston, MA and will deliver within a
reasonable distance. I will also ship anything if you cover costs. Photos
of systems avail at: http://chinalake.home.comcast.net/decstuff/index.html .
Queries to whatpdp at chinalake com.
Cheers, -jim
------------------------------
DEC PCs:
No keyboards or external cables unless noted. If there is some special
cable needed, I can dig around in the boxes.
Digital PCP12 386/25 laptop (~1992/93?)
Also seen w/ Panasonic label in RS stores
Interesting note is the integrated mouse
Have docs, power, spare battery, and util disk
DEC Celebris Pentium 166/133
Slim case design w/ 16 bit ISA (AT) and PCI
Removable cache card and processor power factor card
Have the green/blue "Celebris" label - Removed when evaling
and never got back on. Have docs and disks.
DEC Workstation 200i2 Dual PPro/180 or 200
Could come configured either as intel or Alpha by swapping
a good chunk of the system board. Not as neat a design as
the 486/ST intel/Alpha. Friction latch for front is broken
off--mostly a cosmetic issue. Docs and disks. Orig shipped with
the two RZ28D scsis below, but now had IDE on built in controller.
Collector has first dibs on the drives. Controller when I can locate
it (apaptec 2940W). This system's last job was running some flavour of
S/370 via Hercules on Linux.
DEC DECpc 486 Workstation "Clam Shell" PCW10-A2
Slim design. Connected via a short SCSI cable to its
SCSI storage unit. Together it had a clam-like appearance.
Support for LK keyboard and had a large Appina video board
DEC DECpc Storage box for the DECpc PCWXE-A2
Two HH 5.25 openings and one hidden (holding RZ24-LE)
Have the connecting cable for this unit. The unit is
generic SCSI, but I will only dispose of it with the PC.
There is also a VAXMate if I can find it.
In a month or two, two SOLs and Helios drives will be up on ebay.
---------------------------
MV 3100-80

White DEC T + 2 50-ohm thinnet terms
NON-DEC SCSI CR-ROM in external box if you want it
----------------------------
Misc:
-New DEC 15 foot thinnet + 2 T and 4 terms (this is the white molded cable
and connectors)
-Grey 5' BNC RGB cable - maybe off the GIGIs and/or from BARCOs
-DEC BC09J-03 MV 3100 SCSI cable - This the funky HD68 Female to AMP50

4 covers--I have the rest someplace
-TZ87 in cartridge for BA350 (will test)
-Locating my box of internal SCSI CR-ROM drives-any takers when I do?
