Ok, so this evening I went back to the house to do a
quick evacuation
of
the most critical stuff and take some better pictures. This time I
brought a massive xeon flashlight which helps to get quicker
pictures
with less shake.
I also picked up a pile of Perq boards, and all the DC600 tapes and
floppies I could take out. The car was loaded with them, someone is
going to have to curate these. But since I know that the most
important
thing is the software and not the hardware I decided this is what to
get
as the top priority.
There appears to be a third Perq in there as well on the other side
of
the basement. No big drives (14 inch or 8 inch) but a lot of MFM and
SCSI disks. Couldn't grab those, too heavy.
Considering that i see at least one SMD controller in 0273
(xy 7053-105)
Could it be case that somewhere is pedestals and CABLES ?
Original issue Sun SMD cables is unobtanium, a number of people on the
list recently discussed copying the cables, but when you don't have any
originals one to study....
0271:
at least one 3/60 cpu (serial b, ser a, scsi, video)
3/260,3/280: sio a, sio b, ethernet, reset/norm/diag keyboard "walking
leds" video (ecl)
0275:
that card with a flat cable, that is i think a 3/80 cpu
It is enough to stuff to configure a rather beefy 3/80, a big enough
vme-crate...
