Hello
I find myself having to do something I don't want to
do, but currently I have no choice. I must downsize
my living arrangements, which means the computer
collection has to go ASAP.
I don't have time to ship unless there is a large
bribe included, so local pickup/delivery is needed.
I'm in Aurora IL, (~40miles west of Chicago), and
at least one item will need a truck (VAX11-750).
I'll take 20 to 40 dollars for each machine
(with three exceptions), the price per machine
goes down if you take multiples. First reply
gets an item unless someone will show up to
take everything. Reply directly to me by email to
keep the extra traffic off the list. I'll try
to start getting back to people by the middle of
next week. (I'll wait a few days to see if by
chance someone will take everything - best case.)
--------
exceptions (will also consider offers on these):
Amiga 100 - mint condition $100 with extras
Dec Alpha AS4000 server - $100
VAX11-750 very complete - $500
if you take any of these three machines I'll include
other stuff at a much reduced price...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Heathkit/Zenth H89 one with 8 inch floppies
Both H89 have 68k memory and worked when last powered up
have software (both HDOS and CPM) and COMPLETE docs
lots of CPM software
One of these was my first home computer
IMSAI chassis only (no front panel/no boards)
NorthStar CPM system (S100 bus) no software so don't know if it works
2 Kaypro 10 - at least one works and was used extensively
lots of misc S100 boards
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next Cube
Next Slab
with monitors, keyboards, and mice, and software with docs
SGI Indigo doesn't boot due to the battery backed clock being dead
I have docs and IRIX install CDs (and a large heavy monitor)
produces a beautiful work env. but slow by todays standards.
TI99/4A with expansion chassis
(2X) Sun 3/60 with Drive chassis, tape and monitors
Sun Sparc 5 (have run with Solarios and NetBSD)
----------------------------------------------------------
Amiga 500 (x2)
Amiga 1200
Amiga 2500 (not working, bad chip memory, has ethernet card)
Amiga 1000
monitors and drives
lots and lots of amiga software and docs
including most versions of AmigaOS
These were my main systems for most of the 90's
C128 (2x) with drives and lots of extras
and lots of software
------------------------------------------------------
lots of DEC hardware
PDP11 - 23 base system in a Qbus chassis (no drive)
VaxStation 4000/mdl 60 (40 megs memory) nice VMS or netbsd machine
have run both on this machine
have drives for the machine
MicroVax 3100 with tape drive
2 DecStations 5000/125
2 DecStations 5000/150 (has extra TurboChannel cards for
scsi and network)
Dec monitors (heavy) and keyboards/hockey puck mice
Dec Drive SCSI expansion box
Alpha 4000 (no skins, no drive shelf, 1 CPU and memory
I was booting it over the network and
clustering it with my other VMS nodes and
using it as a compute node.)
VAX11-750
including
......Full Set of spares, front panel down to the power supplies,
......Print Set,
.
......Emulex MASSBUS <-> SMD
......2 Fujitsu Eagles ~430 MB each (SMD) (with boot prom)
......2 CDC Sabre ~ 1BG each (SMD) (with boot prom)
.
......TU81 (Unibus interface)
......Unibus Ethernet
......Unibus SCSI
......RS232 Multiplexers
.
......Many TU58 Diagnostic Tapes
......Installation Manuals, Hardware Manuals .. and more.
.
......The whole machine currently will run on a 120V/20A
......circuit. (CPU, TU81, 1 Eagle, and both Sabres)
-------------------------------------------------------------
various other intel machines for parts
and some compete machines including at least
x286, x386, X486 and slow pentium machines
some SCSI drive cases and SCSI drives I'll throw in
with other machines
lots of computer books that will go with the machines
associated with that machine/topic.
almost a complete set of BYTE including most of the early
issues.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
will consider trades for a newer DEC alpha desktop to
replace the DEC 3000/mdl 600 I'm keeping. If I get
a replacment alpha the DEC 3000 will also have to
go.
