Subject: Free to a good home (UK) - bits!
Hi all, I'm having a clearout with a pending house move. All these bits
are in Southampton, UK. I'd prefer them to go quickly as one lot but
will consider any and all requests. No guarantee that all this works,
but most of it I've used some time in the past! Please contact me off
list if you're interested.
Sun SS20 doesn't boot. Comes with a pair of Ross 150MHz CPU's and lots
of memory that I never got around to installing.
Sun ultra2. Has solaris 8 installed and works fine. 4GB disk, 200MHz CPU.
Box of sun sbus cards - GX, network, SCSI, etc.
Sun type 5 keyboard and 2 mice.
2 SGI Octanes. Single and dual R10K with SI gfx. Possibly a dual R12K if
you can convince me to get rid of it :-)
Iiyama 19" FST CRT monitor with VGA & 5*BNC connectors. Really, really
nice picture but a few scratches to the glass.
Selection of I-BUS PCI & ISA passive backplanes, including a 20 slot ISA
monster! Most of these are PICMG (think that's it?) mixed ISA/PCI.
DDS1 drive
DDS2 drive
4 SCSI CD-ROMs
2 HP ProCurve 10/100 switches
"Jeta" power supply. pulled from some system it comes with a basic
hand-drawn pinout and does 5V at 80A, 12V at 6A & 12V at 10A
Selection of small (<=9GB) SCSI drives. Mix of 50, 68 & 80 pin.
Right, that's the boring stuff... More interesting is 3 crates from my
rescued Whitecross WX9020 system. I'm keeping this as a working system
with system controller and processing crates but getting rid of the 3
storage crates. Each is a 19" 6U unit and includes 4 disk "modules" (one
of them is missing a module). Each module has 2 disks, each disk is 4GB
and has it's own controller card. Each card has an Inmos T425
transputer, NCR SCSI controller and 16MB of ECC RAM. On the back of each
crate are power boards to take the 48V system power to 5V and ??. The
other cards in the crate I'll keep as spares for the rest of the system
since they're of little use on their own. You could build a 22
transputer network with the disk controller cards - just apply power and
patch in to the links. I've put some pics on Flickr
(

you can get an idea of what I'm talking about :-)
There's probably more to come. Probably some peecee rubbish too!
Cheers,
James
I would be interested in any 50-pin SCSI disks, especially any that are 1.09
GB or less (can't remember the exact figure for sure but thereabouts) and
any larger 50-pin SCSI disk that are no more than one inch in height.

Rob
