I have just spent the last few weeks living a computer collector's nightmare.... moving. The entire collection had to be packed up, loaded, moved and unloaded. The good part is I now have a larger place and I'm taking the time to organize and get a better, newer inventory. During which I've decided to pass along some things I have extras of or will never get around to working with. There is more to come but I'll start off with some of the larger items. Item 1 - DEC PDP-8 stuff. Two card cages with various boards (not sure what all is in there at the moment), power distribution strip, and two RK05 drives. I think I have a PDP-8A front panel that went with all of it here too. All is in unknown condition. I thought I'd have time to try and do something with all this once but I know now I won't. Item 2 - Sun 3/50. System plus two 19" monitors, 2 keyboards and a mouse. Unknown condition. Item 3 - Box of various Sun OS tapes. If you have something you'd like to trade me I'll be happy to consider it but otherwise they're free for pick up in Houston TX. I often drive up to Austin (doing so this weekend in fact) and might be convinced to tote them along but can't promise. If nobody wants them then it's off to the local scrapper I guess. Other stuff available soon as I sort through all these systems and boxes. ----- "What is, is what?"

Awww. I wanted it. Peace...

Gunther has laid claim to the PDP-8 stuff. If he can't pick it up I'll let people know and someone else can have a shot at it. The Sun stuff is still available if someone wants.
