Hello all,
Five items for local pickup that may interest the members of the list. The first three
items are basically junk and will be thrown out because I'm moving. The parts may be
useful to someone. Everything is free except the last item.
1. DEC AlphaServer 1000A
Fans turn but no boot. Had already asked here for advice but can't seem to fix it. May
be a power supply issue but can't find a replacement at a reasonable price. Includes
memory (appears good), PCI ethernet card, video card.
2. Sun GDM-1604-15
Fixed frequency colour monitor, 4xBNC input. Missing pedestal. Works but there is no
vertical control and the image is slightly strechted beyond the top and bottom borders of
the screen. Was given to me by a generous list member and has served me well when I need a
console on a Sun.
3. DEC LK461-A2
Looks like an English (UK?) layout with a PS/2 connector. Verified PC compatible, but with
a VMS layout. Missing both feet at the back. Had bought the French Canadian version on
eBay and they sent this instead. Go figure.
4. Linksys EtherFast PC Card PCM100-CA
No dongle! Good for old laptops (16 bit PCMCIA).
5. Dell Precision 220 - 100$
Pentium III 733 MHz (single but dual possible), 512 MB (2x256 MB) RDRAM, Matrox dual
display card, 9.2 GB Ultra3 60 pin SCSI hard drive, recent Netgear wireless card with
Atheros chipset (WG311T), PCI ethernet card. Worked great as a server running FreeBSD.
IMHO worth the price alone for the RDRAM and the wireless card.
I'll probably post more messages between now and the month of June as I sort through
my stuff.
***REQUEST ***
If anyone knows a source for a cheap but more modern (and working) Alpha, please drop me a
line. I'd also love a VMS compatible Integrity but I'm dreaming. Or some cheap SGI
kit.
Thanks!
