Please help me clean out!

Fellow CLASSICCMP'ers, I need help cleaning out, and I DON'T want to ship anything this time, so this will be LOCAL PICKUP ONLY from Kent, WA (southeast of Seattle). I'm not going to set fixed prices on anything because I would far rather see it get put to use than sit on it until someone offers me something. What I will say is that if you find something you like, and you feel like making some sort of contribution, that's fine. If not, that's still OK. Translation: Freebies with a donation can set up nearby. ;-) With that in mind, here's a (mostly complete) list of what I want to get rid of. FAIR WARNING: If this stuff fails to move within the next month or so, I'm going to drop it at whatever local metal recycler will take it, and/or rent a dumpster from the local landfill. I hate to do that, but I'm out of room, dang it! I need to MOVE this stuff! THE LIST Three DSD-880's with multiple manuals and diagnostic disks. Also included is a DEC-produced VHS training video on how to service the beasties, and at least one each of UniBus and Q-bus controllers for them (I say at least because I'm not sure how many of each I have). I will also include rack slides for the lot. A Fujitsu 'Super Eagle' SMD hard drive. Big rackmount beastie, spins up, comes ready, runs wonderfully quiet for its size. I've not tested it in-depth, but I see no reason why it should be anything but functional. Includes rack slides (nice aluminum-alloy ball-bearing ones, no less). Two Cipher 880 series front-load 9-track drives. One is a straight Cipher drive, the other is an OEM unit they did for DEC (a TSV05 if I'm not mistaken). I can also throw in at least one Qbus controller card, and at least one set of rack slides. A mid-size box full of 8" floppies with various software, including old versions of RT11. There's also a bunch of misc. DEC manuals. The only rule I'll make on this pile is that if you want any of it, you have to take it all! Two MicroVAX 2000's. One has been set up by me to be a handy formatter for those RD52's and RD54's that you Just Can't Find the Service Diagnostics tape for. I did this by making a special ribbon cable for it that's about twice as long as the original. This next item should be of interest to those who want to do graphics on the MicroVAX II and III: I have at least a pair of complete VCB02 graphics subsystems. This means two each of the controller boards, four each of the 4-plane color boards, two BIG 19" RGB monitors, cabling, keyboards, and 'hockey-puck' style electronic rodents. While not exactly computer-related, there might be some of you who have wanted to install an old 1A2 key telephone system in your place. Well, here's your chance! I have a Western Electric 551 series "shoebox" key service unit and some line cards to go along with it. You can route up to four lines through this beastie: All you need are some 25-pair cables and some keysets to go with it. I'll also be getting rid of a pair of rackmount SCSI drive enclosures. These are nice ones made by Control Data. The drives mount in special trays which then slide in the front (they hold two drives each) of the enclosures, and there are thumbwheel switches on the backside to select SCSI ID for each position. There may be some other bits and pieces that I'll find in the process of cleaning out, but that's the bulk of it. If you're interested in anything, please drop me an E-mail note and we'll set up a meeting. Thanks in advance. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com // E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio: WD6EOS since Dec.
