Hi all, I have reached a point where I must dissolve my collection. I have just reached this decision, so this email is providing a head's up as it were. It seems so many people reach this point then have to get rid of their collection within the next n (where n is <10) days..... I am in the process of making an inventory, but basically I have the following; System 1. VAX 400VLC, 26in? Color monitor, external storage and CD w/caddy System 2. VAX 3100-10 with Evans and Sutherland PS390 Includes connection to VAX, Evans and Sutherland Monitor, button box, Keyboard, Stereographic glasses and software. System 3. PDP 11/23 in a pedestal enclosure System 4. VAX 6000-440; contains 4 RA90 drives, two internal to the cabinet and 2 spare, integral infoserver and several CD drives and a TU81+ tape transport. OpenVMS 6.0 Con Dist. And the system that got me started in this hobby, System 5. PDP 11/23+ DECDatasystem Two Cabinet wide 19"Rack form factor; processor has been upgraded to 11/73. 3 Drives; 2 operational, one standby. 2X RD52 and a RD53. TSV05 tape transport & 2X RL02 Drives. I have numerous terminals for this system, Two Tek Graphics Terminals, a few VT type and an LA100. This system was used as a basis for developing micro controllers, to that end this system also comes with a secondary chassis, two LSI 11 Falcon boards, in the original packaging, a Mentec M90 (I think) PDP on a board, the original 11/23+ processor and several other modules. The software as I recall is RSX-11M-PLUS (V?), FORTRAN & BASIC Also comes with MicroPower Pascal for driving the external Microprocessors. The software comes complete with Licenses, about 10 to 15 RL02 disks, loads of tape and an Orange wall of Documentation. I also have a Qbus ESDI card and Drive, but have not installed those. I am Loathe to let these systems go. But I cannot keep them. I am offering them to the list first in the hope someone will keep them alive and continue to use them. I will be taking an inventory soon and will post that as I make my way through everything. Items are for local pick up only (Madison, WI). I am looking for Donations for this equipment, which, given how unusual some of them are, I think is warranted. If you are interested, please drop me a line at briandotcdotmichellatgmaildotcom Thanks for reading. Brian. ________________________________ The information contained in this email is confidential.
