Subject: new haul, serious goodies
So a brief truck trip to Maryland netted some really great stuff from an
old friend. This is stuff I'd seen before, but he surprised me by saying
"hey, bring a truck!" ...so I did, and here's what I came home with:
IBM 029 keypunch station, complete and in excellent condition
DECsystem-2020 (yes, another one!)
DEC RM03 14" disk drive (aka CDC 9762), but sadly no disk packs
DEC TU45 magtape drive, in pieces but likely repairable
DEC LA120 printing terminal, dirty but in good shape otherwise
VAX 8350 w/Unibus, Unibus SCSI, BI-bus SCSI, and CIBCI
A few other DEC items, RL02, RX02, small PDP-11/23 system
A commercial deli slicer (for my chef fiancee')

Cool! Good Thing it was not in my neighborhood ... Hauling all that stuff
to
the house would certainly give problems (not only expressed in lack of
space).
But very nice stuff indeed. If you ever decide to ditch the TU45, I would be
glad
with two indicators (buttons?) on the top left side on the front.
