I've moved the collection of the Computer Graphics Museum to its new
home in Salt Lake City and now I'm organizing the collection. Here
are some pics of everything sprawled out over the floor during the
initial move: <http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/cgm/index.html>

Nice! What are you going to do with all those Octanes?
I think the bulk of my collection is currently sitting on those same black
wire shelves purchased at Lowes for $50 each on sale :)
What's the kitty litter for?

The exhibits in the museum are all intended to be interactive on real
hardware with ideally 4 seats of identical hardware per exhibit. I
got a bunch of Octanes free for pickup from a cctalk list member in
Tucson (hi Mike). So those will all be part of an Octane exhibit.
You want 4 working seats and enough spares to keep those 4 seats in
working order for a while.

You can get black (and chrome) shelving like this at WalMart for $60
regular price. (They used to be $40 before the fed started printing
trillions of dollars.)
What's the kitty litter for?
See the recent thread on storing cables; I use them to store power
cords, SCSI cables, RS-232 cables, hard drives, etc. They are
durable, watertight (assuming you don't submerge them), have
resealable lids and they stack with the bottom nesting in the lids of
the bucket underneath. I just use a sharpie to write on the lid and
bucket what's inside. They work great and since I have 2 cats, I'm
always buying litter in these buckets anyway.

I haven't seen that many HP terminals in one place since my HP 3000
days!

Good Heavens! And I thought I had storage problems! :-)
What really stands out is some very serious SGI Hardware. I'm
envious of those Octanes. I only have a pair of o2's.

The only thing that I easily recognize are the VT100 terminals.
Are there any PDP-11 Qbus systems? If so, which version
of which operating system do they run?

Are there any PDP-11 Qbus systems?
Yes, for suitable values of "PDP-11". The ones I'm familiar with were
sold labeled "LSI-11", I think, but they are real PDP-11s for any
software purpose, just Qbus instead of Unibus. (I could be slightly
wrong, since I never was all _that_ familair with them.)
If so, which version of which operating system do they
run?
Any that isn't tied to Unibus-specific hardware, as far as I know, but,
again, I was never very familiar with them, and that was years ago
besides.)

The LSI-11 is the PDP-11/03. QBUS is actually officially named the LSI-11 bus because it
appeared with the 11/03 which was the first PDP-11 implemented with LSI logic instead of
discrete SSI/MSI ICs.
Though I think what Jerome was asking is "given that there are VT100s in that
collection, are there also QBUS PDP-11s in the collection?".

IIRC, the systems in the collection that have Qbus in them are:
- PDP-11/03 that is offsite and still needs to be moved there
- PDP-11/83
- VAXserver 4000/200.
- Terak
- I think I might have a VT103
The 11/03 is running RT-11. I think the 11/83 had RT-11 on it as
well. The VAXserver is running VMS. The Terak runs its own OS, I
think.
