I wasn't sure if there might be any parties on the
list who would be
interested in old (late 80s/early 90s) vintage IBM PC/RT gear. Also of
potential interest to collectors of the later PowerPC gear as this was the
predecessor. I have several items that may be of interest to
hobbyist/collectors and I really do not have the space for them but also
have no desire to see things end up in the dump if they can find a good
home. Any interest at all?
I do not have a current inventory but I know I have ...
a couple PC/RT 6150 server towers (worked after Y2K, haven't run them much
since)
a couple PC/RT 6152 minitowers (based on a PS/2 Mod 60 w/ add-on RISC cpu
card, think I have one or two that work & another "shell" for parts)
a pair of streaming tape drives (one working, one I don't remember trying
recently)
various monitors, keyboards, mice, tablets, & cards and so forth (some
working, some may need repair)
documentation/software binders for AIX and AOS (BSD)
... if anyone is interested, I can get you an inventory in a few days' time
with more details.
I would be looking for someone to take the whole lot I think, rather than
unload some things & still be faced with the prospect of sending these off
to the dump for lack of space anyway. And ideally someone who would try to
get the old parts back into a functional state or as a "museum piece" or
something like that rather than melting it down for gold. Not looking for
any money, my monetary investment was paid off by several good years of use
over a decade ago. Definitely a "come and get it" as these are old, heavy
and I doubt that they'd be worth while to ship.
If you are at all interested, let me know -- Thanks!
