Here's a detailed list of what's available.
HP9888A
I/O expander for the HP 9000 series.
HP7946 (HDD&tape drive)
HP7957 (HDD)
These are nice drives and they're fast.
HP7945(HDD)
HP 332 (Workstation)
HP50960A (qty 4) SRM (server)
HP2397A (graphics adapter?)
Sounds like part of a printer based on the PN.
HP9121 (qty 2) dual 3.5" drives
Single sided double density drive. These work on most HP computers. I
think these will work on the HP 85. HP-IB.
HP9135A
HP9895A (qty 2) dual 8" floppy
*Nice!* Double Density Double sided 8" floppy drives with HP-IB
interface. These also work on most HP computers including the HP 85. The
capacity is about 1.2 Mb per drive if I remember right.
HP9127A (qty 3) 5.25" floppy
These are neat. They're read and write MS-DOS formatted disks. I know
the 150 supports them but I'm not sure what other systems do.
HP340 (qty 6) workstation
HP340 expander box (qty 3)
Series 100/150 touch screen workstation (this is a pretty neat looking
little box - like a short, fat Mac, with an LED/phototransistor array along
the edges of the display to tell where your finger is)
These are MS-DOS compatible (not IBM compatible though).
HP 45500A (this is a _really_ funky looking terminal or workstation of some
sort - it looks like the top half of the original "space wars" game - or
like it came from the set of Space 1999...)
Misc:
HP98550 card
Video card for the HP 9000 200 and 300 series computers.
HP340 Human Interface Card (qty 4)
HP HIL tablets (A-size digitizer)
HP35741A monitor (qty 2)
HPIB cables (about 50)
Aydin 1986 vintage color monitor (RGB&composite sync)
Televideo TS1608
IBM original XT with hard drive (believed to be working)
lots of HP backup tapes (the ones half the size of a cigar box)
miscellaneous HP books
Your cost on any of these would be shipping plus packing at Mailboxes,
Etc., plus $5 per item "earnest money" for us to haul them from the
basement, put them in our trailer, tote them to Mailboxes, and fill out the
paperwork.
If you're interested, let me know ASAP, as they go to the scrapper on
Monday, 10/30/00 when the company's lease runs out. Just trying to save
some good, old hardware from the shredder.
It's located in Lincoln, Nebraska, so if you're within driving distance this
weekend, we can probably arrange something to save you shipping and
handling. If you'll haul it out of the basement for us, it's free. (Which
is, incidentally, the same deal the scrapper offered them... :-(
