I wasn't sure if there might be any parties on the list who would be
interested in old (late 80s/early 90s) vintage IBM PC/RT gear. Also of
potential interest to collectors of the later PowerPC gear as this was
the predecessor. I have several items that may be of interest to
hobbyist/collectors and I really do not have the space for them but
also have no desire to see things end up in the dump if they can find
a good home. Any interest at all?
I do not have a current inventory but I know I have ...
a couple PC/RT 6150 server towers (worked after Y2K, haven't run them
much since)
a couple PC/RT 6152 minitowers (based on a PS/2 Mod 60 w/ add-on RISC
cpu card, think I have one or two that work & another "shell" for parts)
a pair of streaming tape drives (one working, one I don't remember
trying recently)
various monitors, keyboards, mice, tablets, & cards and so forth (some
working, some may need repair)
documentation/software binders for AIX and AOS (BSD)
... if anyone is interested, I can get you an inventory in a few days'
time with more details.
I would be looking for someone to take the whole lot I think, rather
than unload some things & still be faced with the prospect of sending
these off to the dump for lack of space anyway. And ideally someone
who would try to get the old parts back into a functional state or as
a "museum piece" or something like that rather than melting it down
for gold. Not looking for any money, my monetary investment was paid
off by several good years of use over a decade ago. Definitely a "come
and get it" as these are old, heavy and I doubt that they'd be worth
while to ship.
If you are at all interested, let me know -- Thanks!
