What's your specialty?

I mainly specialize in DEC stuff, single-board computers, and supercomputers. I have "sub-interests" in older systems from SGI, Sun, NeXT, Tandy, AT&T, IBM, and some others. My DEC interests lie in the pdp8, pdp11, and VAX line. I also hack lots of Alphas, but they're more current "production" machines for me. The only pdp8 model I've owned is the 8/e, but I hope to change that someday. I've owned pdp11/03, /04, /05, /23, /24, /34, /44, /60, /70, and /73 machines, and have all of them now except for the /60 and /70. I've owned VAX11/725, /730, /750, 8250, 8350, 8700 and many different 4000-series machines. I currently have a /730, an 8350, and several 4000s, and I'll be getting another 11/725 later this week. I really dig SBCs. I have many eval boards for various processors eval board for the MIPS R2000 and a few 68000s. Supercomputers are my favorite. The "collectible" ones that I have currently are two Cray YMP-EL98 systems, an EL94, and an EL92. These machines are nearly ten years old but are still fast by today's standards for floating point applications. I also have a Cray J90, which is a much more current "production" machine and not really a part of the "classic" collection. All of my machines are functional (but not necessarily currently assembled) save for the pdp11/05, /44, and one of the YMP-EL98s. I am currently looking for an AT&T UnixPC (though it looks like I've found one!) and a TRS-80 model I. -Dave -- Dave McGuire St. Petersburg, FL "Less talk. More synthohol." --Lt. Worf
