FW: Q-Bus Cards available

Fellow's looking to get rid of some Q-bus cards. Despite his listed prices (I'd wager he'll let them go for a heck of a lot less), it looks like he's just going to trash the stuff if they're not bought. If interested, contact him directly. Attachment follows. -=-=- <snip> -=-=- From: cfchiesa(a)cyber1.servtech.com (christopher f. chiesa) Newsgroups: comp.os.vms,comp.sys.dec Subject: Q-bus Cards FS Date: 7 Jun 1998 19:24:01 -0400 Organization: ServiceTech, Inc.

Apologies in advance if any of the following is inappropriate in either content or presentation; if it is, feel free to TELL me, but please use e-mail and please be gentle! After cannibalizing a disused MicroVAX III, I'm left with several "ex- cess" Q-bus cards (see list below) and thought I'd see if anyone here would like to buy any of 'em. If not, out to the curb they go, a week from this Wednesday or maybe sooner. As a VERY GENERAL guideline of what these cards "are worth," my list shows prices I found on a "DEC reseller" Website, which prices I assume to be relatively "current." However, because these cards are used, and because I don't really know their condition (operating/not), A) I don't expect to receive these prices and will entertain "any reasonable offer," and B) if you buy an item, send me your money (plus shipping, unless you can pick it up in person in the Rochester, NY area), then within 30 days of my shipping the item you determine that it DOESN'T WORK, simply return it to me for a full refund of your purchase price (shipping is NON-refundable). Having said that, here's the list: Card-Edge Model "DEC reseller website" ID Number Description Price ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- M3106 DZQ11 4-line, double-buffered, async EIA $219 (serial port) mux, w/modem control M7546 TQK50 TMSCP controller for TK50 tape unit $258 M7651 DRV11-WA 18/22-bit DMA general-purpose interface $507 N/A QT13 or QT14 (Emulex) tape-drive controller (this N/A unit was used with CDC 9-track drive) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (FWIW, I also have the above-mentioned 9-track drive, but it's far too bulky for me to even TRY to SHIP unless YOU REALLY MAKE IT WORTH MY WHILE. If I don't get a convincing offer, or an in-person pickup scheduled, by 8AM this coming Wednesday (6/10), this drive ALSO goes out to the curb!) Again, apologies if this is off base in any way. Hope to hear from interested parties soon!
