All,
Following the recent trend of repentant hoarders, it's time for me to slim the herd.
In particular I need to recover the use of my second bedroom. So I need to find happy
homes for the following:
IBM System/36 5362 (US Model)
IBM System/36 5363
IBM AS/400 9404 (CISC)
IBM RS/6000 7025-F40
IBM RS/6000 7015-98B
IBM RS/6000 7015-999
IBM RS/6000 43p (several)
HP Apollo 9000 Model 400 (68040 upgrade)
I may also have a number of smaller Sun, HP and IBM UNIX boxer available. None of these
machines have been run for between 10-15 years. They may require attention, which since
I've not touched them in quite some time. Better they go to you, eh? These would all
be for pickup in the from post code GU51 2UD. I'm not looking for any financial
exchange, but I would direct you to donate generously to The National Museum of Computing
(www.tnmoc.org).
Regards,
Colin

Would you take the time, patience and everything else, to ship
something?
This is a hard request, I admit.
Shipping a 5362 or 5363 it's a nightmare. But can't drive 'til UK :(

Darn, I'm also clearing out otherwise I'd definitely be interested in one
of the RS/6000s - have always wanted one. And I'm only 25 mins drive away
from you (I'm in Guildford).
Anyone else in the UK looking for some Sun (SPARCstation/Ultra) and DEC
(Alpha) equipment, please give me a shout. I'll gladly post systems for the
cost of shipping...

I'm in Guildford. Must confess, I'm not yet 100% sure if I want to get rid
of my PWS500a (it's Agfa-branded, running Windows 2000 beta!), but I do
have a Multia that could do with a new home.
I do have *lots* of 32- and 64-bit Sun systems and parts that could do with
new homes though...

:-) I can understand that, certainly.
What model Multia, then? I mainly want something that can run OpenVMS,
to be honest (as per recent threads).

I've just got rid of my last 3 or 4 SPARC boxes, I'm afraid, and sold
a Type 5 keyboard (& 2 mice) for 1p on eBay. That's what I'd recommend
- eBay, with the lowest possible start price & cheap shipping. It can
save stuff from the tip.

I'm not sure... I believe the previous owner did run OpenVMS on it (he's an
OpenVMS nut) but I haven't used the machine in a while so am not sure of
exact specs.

Good point. I really do want to find good homes for my collection and
really, really don't want to end up recyling anything :(

I am also interested in a Multia, I would prefer it to be an Alpha-based
one.

While this is doubtless true, let me know - by private mail if you
prefer - what you are willing to pay in terms of item *plus shipping*.
The keyboards are some 50cm long and weigh about 2kg.
Royal Mail wanted about ?13 for the cheapest possible postage for the
Type 5 k/b + 2 mice. Collect+ did it for about ?7.25 so I made all of
about 30p on the deal - but more importantly, I didn't have to throw
it away.
I gave away 2 or 3 such keyboards to a friend recently. If you are
still in need of one, I can ask him if he still has them and is
willing to part with them... And if so, put you 2 in touch.
Let me know?

If its an AGFA badged m/c running windows 2000 for Alpha its probably
one i worked with when i worked for agfa.
Used as a RIP (raster image processor) for the digital presses and
imagesetters. They had no front end software on them and were used
purely for their processing power in the background.
We swapped them all out when compaq bought out Digital. Compaq
replacing them with sp750's free of charge..

Indeed it is. This machine originally came from South Africa though - I
traded it for a Sun of some sort about 6 or 7 years ago. The guy I got it
from had a few of them.
It's been ages since I powered the machine on but I vaguely remember
installing OpenVMS on it after swapping out the IDE CD-ROM for a SCSI one
and putting in a fresh HD to preserve the Windows 2000 installation.
