As you may remember, I'm moving. This has required a significant amount of work
to get stuff packed. I've been making some progress. I have dug out enough to be
able to list *some* of what I have that I don't want to move.
Please make offers. I'll consider anything "reasonable" (I'm not
expecting eBay prices
but I'm not going to give the stuff away either). I'm trying not to ship stuff
because frankly I don't have the time. If you're not in the area and really want
something
it'll probably be best if you can get someone who's local (San Jose/San Fransisco
California area) to pick it up and get it shipped.
My plan is to get everything moved before October 1. After that anything that I'm
not
moving will go to Weirdstuff.
I've put a lot of stuff on pallets for my ease of handling. You'll get a
"deal" if you take
the pallet as-is (ie take the lot).
I have a lot of small stuff. Sorry but I can't search for little items. If you come
by I'll
let you search through the various piles of stuff but I won't.
OK, so much for the "fine print". Here's a *partial* list:
MicroVAX 3100 (30's, 40s, 80s and 90s)
VaxStation 3100 (I think)
DEC Rainbow 100 (in it's original box...somewhat worse for wear)
Printer for DEC Rainbow
Documentation for DEC Rainbow
HP Apollo (don't know more than that)
12-15 RL01/RL02 drives. I don't know the condition. Some look good, others, well
not.
4+ RK05 drives. Most of these don't work (from my notes) but shouldn't require a
lot
5-6 Fujitsu Eagle drives. Don't know the condition but they look OK.
2-3 MicroVAX in BA23s
Sun IPX (not sure how many)
Sun IPC (not sure how many)
Sun SS10 (1 or 2)
Sun SS20 (1 or 2)
Sun Ultra 5
Sun Ultra 10
DEC PDP-8/a
SWTPC (no idea what's in the case)
4-5 DECWriter IIIs
2-3 KSR/ASR33s of various types and conditions
Micro PDP11s in various cases. Some are in BA23s, some are OEM cases
3-4 MicroVAXs in BA123
3-4 ADM3a. Don't know the condition
4-5 VT100. Don't know how well they work
4+ PDP-11 11/34s (a couple are still in racks)
2+ PDP-11 11/44s
a few PDP-11 11/84s (I know one is complete. I'm not sure what state the others are)
1-2 PDP-11 11/24s
1-2 PDP-11 11/05 or 11/10 (these are minimal)
a few BA11F chassis (some empty some full of backplanes full of cards)
TU80 tape drive
TU81+ tape drive
3-4 Kennedy tape drives (some in racks)
5-6 RX01/RX02 dual floppy drives
Contact me off-list.

Quite a bit of stuff on my wants list there! Pity shipping isn't an option
even if I did have someone in your area to collect, shipping to the UK is
likely beyond my means.
One thing though. Have you "advertised" the Teletype machines on the
Greenkeys list?

Are all PDP 8/a those straight 8s? I thought the last one on ebay went for
$8000 or so but I know it was a "straight 8". Just a comment, it'd be
worth plopping up there probably if so. Very cool though with the PDP
equipment. Wish some could crop up around my parts.

>> DEC PDP-8/a
There was a Usenet FAQ that covered this, but since no one seems to remember it..
"Straight 8" refers to the original PDP-8 (note the absence of any slash after
the 8)
Follow-on implementations have a slash to denote various models. They were, in rough
chronological order:
PDP-8/S
PDP-8/I
PDP-8/L
PDP-8/E
PDP-8/F
PDP-8/M
PDP-8/A
All but the 8/S are built from TTL logic.
At this point, the PDP-8 and 8/S are not as commonly available as the other models
and go for much more than the others.
2:33 p.m.
I suppose there will be a gazillion answers to this but:
No, the Straight-8 (or rather a PDP-8 without a model letter) is very
different from a PDP-8/a (with model letter "a"):

Thanks for the replies. I was just curious and don't have any PDP
experience. My google search on PDP 8/a returned a bunch of pictures that
looked like a straight 8 which is what threw me off.

hard-sectored floppies, (e.g. Wang 0063) and are not identified as such
on the box.

Any idea if they're hard or soft sector? I have a Xerox 820-II, but I'm
pretty sure it's soft-sector discs only. Thanks.
