Due to an urgent need for more space, I'd like to know if anyone
would be interested in taking ALL of the following off my hands.
Doesn't have to be one person - feel free to club together with
whoever you feel like if you can arrange it fairly quickly. I just
don't want to ship individual bits of this or that to the four corners
of the globe - I don't have time :(
Here goes:
HP 85 - 5 machines (one or two may be missing a few keys). I posted
about these (and the 86Bs) on this list a while ago.
HP 86B - 3 machines. All work, for varying degrees of "work". One
seems totally OK, one seems to work but various characters of the
screen are stuck as "M" right from switch on, so I'm guessing video
RAM trouble. One has an unresponsive keyboard - a couple of the keys
work but that's it. This one also has keys missing, so is probably
best used as spares for the other two.
There are RAM cartridges and ROM drawers on offer with these as well,
also 5 off 9121 dual single-sided 3.5" HPIB drive and 1 off 9122 dual
double-sided 3.5" HPIB drive, also 3 brand new rolls of paper and 6
tape cartridges
Sun Ultra 2 300(ish)MHz - 384(ish)MB RAM
Sun Ultra 1 140MHz, not sure how much memory is in it
Sun SPARCstation 4, 110MHz, 96MB RAM, 1GB (I think) disk
Sun SPARCstation 5, 90MHz, there's some memory in it but not sure how much
Sun SPARCstation 2, 2 off, there's memory and disks in both
Sun SPARCstation IPX, 2 off, both have memory and disks I think
Sun SPARCclassic, faulty
Sun SPARCstation SLC, has memory
Sun SPARCstation ELC, has memory
Sun SPARCstation ELC (faulty) - not sure if this one has memory
Box of the system board and socket board combos from
died-of-video-problems SPARCstation ELCs. There are about 8 or so of
these, all have memory IIRC.
Sun EXP-2 disk pack (the 386i style one) - 4 (one is for spares only).
All have disks and/or tape drives in
Sun type 411 disk enclosure, DAT tape drive fitted
Sun type 411 disk enclosure, 4.3GB IBM harddisk fitted
Sun type 611 UniPack disk enclosure, 7 off, all closed-face type.
Most, if not all, have various low-ish size harddisks fitted
Sun type 711 MultiPack disk enclosure, takes 12 SCA harddisks in SPUD
brackets, complete with keys
Sun "SBUS Expansion" with card and cable
Sun GDM-17E10 17" monitor. Last known working, can't guarantee it still is
Sun CPD-1790 17" monitor, works
Sun GDM-20D10 20" monitor, 2 off. Both have different faults. One
works fine once it's warmed up, but while it does the size of the
screen "bounces" alarmingly all over the place. One has (as is written
on the casing in biro) "LINE JITTER PROBLEM". These are stunning
looking monitors - one even has its IR remote control. Make one good
one out of the pair
SGI 14" monitor. Yes, I didn't realise that any 13w3 monitors were
ever made this small, but here it is. Don't know the model number
offhand, sorry
Huge box full of SBUS and UPA cards. Along with loads of CG3 and
501-2015s and stuff, there are some rarities in here (Vigra VGA cards,
4 off; others as well)
Box full of Sun accessories - audio output breakouts, serial adaptors,
drive mounting sleds, all kinds of stuff
Huge box* full of SCSI cables of all varieties, from Sun DD50 right up to VHDCI
Huge box* full of serial cables and RS232/MMJ-related adaptors
Huge box* full of IEC 320 power leads
Boxes of mice (Sun SDB, PS2 and serial)
About 10 PC keyboards
About 10 Sun Type 4 keyboards
One or two Sun Type 5 keyboards
One Sun Type 6 USB keyboard
DEC MicroVAX 3100-30 - not sure if these have memory, they don't have disks
DEC LA38 teletype
DEC VT510 dumb terminal - 2 off
DEC BA356 disk array - full of 4.3GB and 9.1GB drives. Has a
personality module fitted, but I couldn't tell you what kind it is
Other dumb terminals - there are about 20 of various kinds, including
a Lear-Siegler ADM-11 which is retro-tastic
Box of old SCSI and IDE harddisks
19" rack mount 10baseT network hub - 24 ports I think
Drawer full of motherboards, 486 to Pentium era
Various old media (including some hard-sectored 8" floppes which I
think belong to something Tektronix)
3.5" floppy disk boxes - 3 of the "square" style (2 disks wide) and
one of the "narrow" style (1 disk wide)
Mac Plus 1Mb. Also an Apple 20SC harddisk to go with this - don't have
the cable, though.
Few miscellaneous external SCSI disk enclosures of various sizes
Some x86 machines - few 486s, couple of Pentia (~120MHz) and two more
interesting machines:
- One DEC which has the CPU on a removable daughterboard (I have 3 of
said boards - two are a single 486 and one is two Socket 5 Pentia. I
can even give you the matched pair of P133 CPUs I bought to put in
this). This machine has onboard Adaptec Wide SCSI.
One Full Tower AT - will take (IIRC) 5 3.5" drives in a nifty
swing-out cage, and 5 half-height drives (CDROMs etc). Currently
fitted with a P200 with 64MB RAM and an Adaptec 2940W SCSI card.
APC UPS system (don't know the model number offhand, but a smallish
one) - batteries are duff, but I bought a slightly bigger battery
(which has to go outside the case) and all the necessary big wires and
connectors to be able to wire it in for use
Entire shelf full of CDROM drives, including 4 Nakamichi 5-disc
changers (two SCSI and two IDE)
7 off 3.5" HD floppy drives
Several large bags full of various cables and x86 accessories (floppy, IDE, ...)
Few boxes of various ISA/VLB/PCI cards - mainly graphics and network
Probably a bit more stuff that I haven't listed, as well
The catch: you must take it ALL. Currently, it's filling a room (and
overspilling a bit from that) and I want it gone. I'd say this is
going to fill at least 2 estate cars, so you'd probably want a van. I
can help you pack and carry it out.
How much? Make me an offer. The offer can be from "free but I can have
it gone REAL SOON" upwards. I really wouldn't say no to some cash ;)
This stuff is teetering ever closer to getting landfilled; I'd hate to
see it be lost to the community but I honestly can't keep it any
longer. I hope someone/some group out there can give it a good
home(s).
Ed.
* where these are concerned, you can take the *contents* of the box
but not the boxes themselves - they were quite expensive. I have many
flat-pack cardboard boxes and can make some up for you to take stuff
away in.
