The Retrocomputing Society of Rhode Island, Inc. (I am a member) has the
following, some being personal machines in the collective (also from
memory):
DEC:
LINC-8
(3) PDP-12, one w/ RK05
PDP-8/i
PDP-8/e
PDP-8/a
PDP-11/23
PDP-11/34
PDP-11/44
DECsystem 2065 (KL10E) w/ RP06, TU45
DECsystem 2020 (KS10)
VAX 11/750 w/ RA81, TU81
VAX/Intergraph 8550
VAX 6220
(Lots) small VAXstations and DECstations
DG:
Nova 840
Nova 3
S/130
Interdata:
Model 4
IBM:
S/34 - 5340
S/36 - 5360, 5362, 5363
RS/6000 - T3B, 360, 540
Fastdraft
TI:
990
Wang:
VS100
Symbolics:
3600, 3640, (two others coming next week from TMC)
Packard Bell:
250
Basic Four:
mumblefoo
Honeywell:
316
There are probably others that I have forgotten. This list also does not
include the seemingly zillions of Suns/Intergraphs/whatevers that come thru.
My collection consists of (some coming this month):
IBM:
S/3 model 15D - 5415 w/ 3340, 3241, 1403N1
S/1 (various)
RS/6000-T3B (NSFnet backbone node), 320H
misc - 029, 129, 519, 557, 1131, 2311, 2501, 2520
DEC:
PDP-8/i
PDP-8/s
PDP-8/e (probably selling to friend shortly)
PDP-11/23 (new, never used)
PDT-11/150 (probably available)
DG:
S/130
Nova 3 (both probably available)
Convex:
C240
Interdata/Perkin Elmer:
Model 14
Model 7/32
SGI:
4D/380
HP:
2100A w/ 7900, paper tape
Misc:
various small Unix machines
As you can see, by weight IBM wins, and will continue to grow as the
others shrink. I will probably hold on to a few of the machines - the
PDP-8/s because it was literally my first computer ($5, during my high
school days) and the SGI Power box, for emotional reasons. Maybe the
Interdata 14 as well (old school computer - I didn't use it, but friends
did).
Note that the PDP-8/i is NOT the one I am taking bids on. I orginally had
three (another deal from the ancient days of this list - remember
Wirehead?).
