A cleanup at my workplace has yielded the following items
dumpster-bound. These will be pickup only in the Houston
area (near Bush Int'l) and may not be available for very long.
Most too large to ship, don't have the time or materials. Best if
u can pickup this weekend. Contact me off-list if interested.
- 18 Rk05 diskpacks; NOT the 12-sector type used on PDP11, these
have 8 slots in the sector ring (PDP8 ?). Don't know what
they came off of.
- LA-100 printer; desktop, working
- DEC paper reader/punch (rack mount) + PC11 controller (unibus)
+docs + a Bunch of paper tapes. Long unused, last known working
- several DD-11 backplanes (unibus)
- Cipher f880 rack mount, front load 1600bpi tape. Working pull
from de-comm sys
- SGI Iris 1400 + rgb monitor + kb + mouse + docs. Condition ?
This is a pedestal style, not a desktop.
- 2 RL02's (1 working, 1 not), 6 packs mostly rt11, 1 rsx
- 2 inop la36's
- misc: df11's, rz23's, 8" hard-sec floppies, ....

Realizing in advance what you have said about time/energy/motivation
regards shipping Heavy Old Things; nonetheless I'd be quite willing to
make it worth your while if you would consider holding this out of the
load until I could arrange to have it sent to me in Northern California.
Several of the 'mail' companies offer packing and UPs and/or FedEx
shipping - you just drop it off and they do the rest. Also, there a couple
of LIstmemers there in TX for whom I've boxed and shipped Stuff - so they
owe me, I figger.
I've got two 11/44 systems on the way and this machine would help out
greatly in their intended use as archival and media interchange machines -
as well as just a lot of retro-fun!
Lemme know if there might be a Plan embedded in this somewhere...
Cheers

Foo! Too far. :-(
- 18 Rk05 diskpacks; NOT the 12-sector type used on
PDP11, these

they came off of.
Real RK05 packs came in two flavors for DEC equipment - 12 sectors
of 16-bit words for PDP-11s and 16-sectors of 12-bit words. Perhaps
you have a pack from some other drive that is mechanically similar,
but not identical. I know Plessey made DEC-compatible machines.
Perhaps the packs are slightly different. The same style of packs
were also used in the IBM 1130, but I have no idea how many sectors
they are. Ditto for RK02/RK04 (low-density version of the
RK03/RK05)packs... not sure how they look.

I'd love it. Can't get to Texas by this weekend. :-(

Mitch will be bringing his truck.
Please hold this stuff! : )
