Here's what I have to offer:
- DEC OpenVMS V6(.3?) full, paperback, documentation set in
original Digital-branded carton, all in excellent shape;
- HP-branded LK463 keyboard with USB interface and PS/2-
converter, in excellent and practical new condition;
- DEC (and Digital-branded) LK46W-A2 with PS/2 interface,
very good shape (looks great), except one 'tilting leg'
is missing;
- DEC ball mouse with PS/2 interface, in the same beige
color as the LK46W-A2;
- various old and new 68-pin and 80-pin SCA/SCA2 interface
SCSI disks, both in 2?" and 3?" form factors (mostly
'short' ones, thus not the 'taller'/older types) in and
of various brands/models and capacities ranging from 1
to 300 Gbytes (contact me for more information);
- various old 50-pin SCSI disks (idem ditto, except the
capacities range from 1 to about 4? Gbytes and some are
'taller'), contact me for more information);
- DEC RRD43 external CD-ROM drive, amazingly with original
documentation(!) and SCSI-type converter and cables
(Digital-branded, too) available;
- HP DS2100 (Disk System 2100), UltraSCSI (either U160
or U320), for 4 * 3?" SCSI disks in HP "ring"-type sleds,
in excellent shape and with rack-mounting 'ears' included;
- loads of SCSI cables, practically all sorts and kinds;
- loads of SCSI terminators, both active and inactive,
mostly LVD/SE and quite a few still even in packaging;
- loads of HP disk brackets/sleds, including the HP "ring"-
type in both light/beige and dark gray/black that would
fit in rx1600/rx1620/rx2600/rx2620/rx4640, DS2100, etc.
and the like computer/storage systems, also many non-HP
sleds for more 'PC'-like systems, like IBM ("x"), Dell
and what-not (ask if you're interested);
- DEC Multia/UDB VX40B with 166-MHz processor and 256
Mbytes RAM, 72-Gbyte U320 2?" SCSI disk (that I
shoehorned in with necessary conversion), with HP
Tru64 UNIX V5.1B-4 pre-installed and lots of extras;
- DEC Multia/UDB VX42B with 233-MHz processor and an
unknown amount of RAM, without (working, or actually,
wired PSU connector) and in 'unknown' working state
and in otherwise fairly good physical condition;
- original DEC advertisement material, VAX and AXP/Alpha
era marketing material (brochures, whitepapers, "Digital
Systems and Option Catalog" booklets from several years
and more), I'll make pictures of them if there's interest
for it;
- several OSF/1 and Tru64 UNIX workbooks, or at least one
that I could immediately find;
- a bunch of DEC, Compaq and HP cables, plastics and other
types of parts;
- a bunch of OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX installation media,
originals;
- an original CD-ROM (in jewel case) installation medium
of the Sybase database software for OpenVMS AXP;
- loads of memories, including PC2100 ECC-registered DDR-
SDRAM (like for several HP Integrity systems, many even
original and HP-branded) and the "parity" type that
would fit/work in the Multia/UDB (the exact type escapes
me at the moment), also the type for DEC Personal
WorkStation-series and likely more (ask for more details,
I will then take a closer look);
- a good quantity of *OpenVMS-compatible* (in fact, also
HP-UX- and IRIX-compatible) _10-Gbit_ fiber-optical
(i.e. 10GBASE-SR) PCI-X ethernet NICs and also LC/LC
fiber-optical cables available;
- several (mostly Ultra320) SCSI HBAs, PCI or PCI-X;
- HP 8-port RJ-45/UTP KVM extender hub, I'll have to
check the exact type (but it should work with fairly
recent RJ-45/UTP KVM equipment);
- Quantum Ultrium LTO-1 SCSI tape drive, full-height,
in external enclosure and with various empty data
cartridges;
- several, mostly Sony (and possibly rebranded), DAT40/
DDS-4 SCSI tape drives and loads of empty DDS-2, DDS-3
and DDS-4 data cartridges, also cleaning tapes.
I may have forgotten to mention some things, I may add those
later on. (If you suspect I made a typo somewhere, feel of
course free to contact me about it.)
Anyway, I plan to recycle the majority of this in about a week
or two, if these items haven't been spoken for by that time.
