Fwd: Rescue of DEC Gear in Nashville, TN (More info on racks...)

I received some questions on the racks - here's more information from the owner: "I believe all the cabinets are original DEC. The main cabinet is a 'DEC DataSystem' rack about 5.5' tall. The RL02 and the Winchester are housed in a DEC cabinet about 3 to 4 ft tall. Finally there is the "desk" which holds the floppies." early DEC Decmate enclosure/desk.

The cost: FREE This is a true rescue - the space where the gear is located is to be rented and will be given to scrappers if not picked up within a week or two. Here's an approximate inventory: 1 PDP11/73 processor - 1 Mb memory (maybe more) 2 RL01 drives (one may not be functional) 1 RL02 drive Fujitsu Winchester drive (probably around 75 MB) 2 RX02 drives 1 dual RX50 drive 1 TK50 tape unit + miscellaneous disk packs, many floppies, cabinets, etc. BTW: After discussing the "cabinets" (racks) with the owner, their description sounded to me like standard DEC Corporate cabinets - except that one has a built in console "table". Please respond directly to me ( lbickley at bickleywest.com ) as the owner has asked me to handle the "logistics" of the rescue. First come first serve - exception - anyone taking "all" of the above has priority over partial takers. Note that there are RL02 packs in the mix - and I already have agreed to pay for their shipping - as they may contain historically important sources. If so, I will make sure Al Kossow (bitsavers.org) gets images of the sources. Cheers, Lyle -- Lyle Bickley Bickley Consulting West Inc.
