IBM RT

Digging around in the old travel trailer we used to store stuff in when the shed blew down in a monsoon thunderstorm several years ago, I dug out an (almost) complete IBM RT (6150) ROMP system. I had thought I had sold this years ago. Apparently I did, and the person who was to come by and pick it up, and pay for it, never did. So there it sat under a bunch of boxes..waiting...waiting, until I found it again last week. It's the desk side system and has lots and lots of stuff to go with it. If I remember right the only stuff that we couldn't save was a lot of paper documentation (manuals, etc) that was waterlogged and mostly destroyed. All the hardware was intact as it was under a hardy canvas tarp, when the storage shed roof caved in. Besides the desk side unit and monitor/keyboard. It also came with several unopened boxes of hardware, including several NIB mice, a NIB never opened IBM SCSI card, a whole bunch of controllers and extra processors and memory cards. disk drives and an IBM serial terminal. There is a binder or two of AIX 1.x floppies that had the labels "sweat" off them AND a cdrom with several OS images on them. If I remember right it might have had the AOS (Academic Operating System, a BSD4 variant) on it. As I am in the process of slimming down my collection as we will be selling the house this year, I can't keep it. I have not seen any of these systems on Ebay at all in the last 6 months, so I have no idea of it's worth. But such a complete system with so many "unobtanium" spares is probably worth a few quatloos. It will most likely go up on Ebay this week unless somebody on the list make me an offer I can't refuse. In the mean time, I will put some images up tomorrow on imgur for your perusal. http://ittybittybytes.imgur.com/all/ Cheers Tom P
