Subject: Re: Looking for DEC parts
From: "Eric Smith" <eric(a)brouhaha.com>
To: <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org>
Reply-To: cctech(a)classiccmp.org
Those chips are:
DEC 21-17311-01 or 21-17311-02 = T-11 processor
DEC 21-17312-00 or 21-17312-01 = DC 319 DLART
DEC 57-00001-01 = KEF11 FIS
DEC 57-00000-01 = Ctrl/Data Hybride of 11/23
DEC 21-15542-01 = MMU of 11/23
I have those parts over here, and since both the original poster and myself are
located in Germany, I have already dropped them a line and helped them out.
Frank Arnold
These are the parts we are looking for:
5 pcs. DEC 21-17311-01 or 21-17311-02
2 pcs. DEC 21-17312-00 or 21-17312-01
2 pcs. DEC 57-00001-01
2 pcs. DEC 57-00000-01
2 pcs. DEC 21-15542-01
Any luck for us ??
You might be more likely to get a useful response if you told us what
those parts are. I've got a lot of parts, but I don't have any
inventory by part number.

New subject: PDP 11/34A, RX02 up for grabs in PA
I bought a huge rack of semiconductor test equipment for minimum bid
from a Gov auction recently that included a PDP 11/34A
and RX02 drives
because I had a trip to PA and thought I could pick it up and then
leave
it at a relative's house until they drove out here in March. But, alas,
my trip was cancelled.
The stuff is at a military site near Harrisburg, PA and has to be
removed from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on a weekday. If anyone is interested in
this equipment, it is free for the taking. Send me an e-mail and I'll
send you the details. First come, first served. My understanding is
that you can remove whatever you want from the rack and abandon the
rest.

I've recently acquired a IMS International 186 User-Processor card

I think I just saw one of those on E-bay. IIRC the seller didn't have any docs

Stop asking silly questions :-). It's a minicomputer and it's an HP. _Of
course_ it's worth rescuing...

Where are you? This sort of machine is not easy to ship (I remember
carrying an HP2100A CPU and they're not light), so you need to find
somebody near you, I guess.

Yes, very much worth rescuing. Very nice 1970's era 16
bit minicomputer. There are many of these machines in
use in all kinds of embedded and real-time
applications.
If you can't find anyone interested in the Seattle
area and its running, consider donating it to a local
high school computer club.

The odds of anyone of highschool age, at this point in time, appreciating

About 6 months ago I got a lead on a PDP-8 donated by a local industry to a
high school.
The final story was: When the teacher who had the interest retired the next
year.. this is 2001, his replacement offered it to the students to clean up
the space it was taking. A student hauled it home, then, because there
wasn't much he could do with it put out for scrap collection.

Isn't this one of the worst things you can do with a classic machine?
Unless there's a student or teacher who is already clueful about old
computers, nobody is going to know what to do with it. It'll sit around
for a few weeks, and then go to the murdering scrap dealers :-(
When I was at school, some 20-odd years ago, a lot of stuff was donated
and then checked out. I rescued all I could (quite a bit...) as did other
students, lab tecnicians, etc. But it certainly wasn't used for
educational purposes.

Oh mannnnnnnnnn I'm out sick for a few days, and what do I see? Tons of
posts on HP2100A systems, something I am desperately looking for!! I don't
just want this "because I think it might be interesting". I want it so that
I can get probably the only running HP2000 Access system in existence BACK
up. What's worse is to see something needed to resurrect a real piece of
history being offered to a high school computer club to "play with".
GRRRRRRRR
As I posted a few weeks ago, I am in desperate need of an HP2100 cpu to get
my Access system back up. If anyone knows where one might be lurking that I
could acquire, I would be MOST grateful.
Thanks!
