Greetings;
I need to make Space and I've got a random assortment of things I've
either never turned on, or not messed with in many years. Free for pickup
(I'd really prefer not to box them up) from 50441:
IBM 5324 w/keyboard and monitor
I've never powered this on and the drive knobs were snapped off prior to
my receiving it. My understanding is this is a binary compatible System/34
in baby shoes, but I might be full of it.
AS/400 9402 F02
I last powered this on maybe eight years ago. It booted, but I haven't
touched it since.
HP NetServers
4d/66LM
5/60LM
Six drives between them - they should be working
IBM Series/1 in rack
Someone gutted this before I got it - I have an 8" FDD and the logic cage
with the controllers panel. Someone removed the power supply, but I have
no reason to believe any of the logic boards were damaged. The hard disk
was also taken to pieces, so I have the rack tray and, presumably, the
controller in the logic cage, but not the disk itself.
Given how long I've had them, I stress "as-is". Lemme know if you're
interested;

New subject: simple pcb for QBUS backplane POR
I have a handful of small naked QBUS backplanes and recently I started
populating
them. I quickly discovered that they have some signal requirements above
and beyond +5V/+12V, namely POK, DCOK and line clock.
So I created a simple PIC based PCB which provides DCOK, HALT and the
60Hz line clock.
I was inspired by some PIC source code I found by John Wilson which
generates the line
clock. My version generates the clock differently and includes DCOK and
HALT with
push buttons. I must admit I had fun writing the software and debugging it.

I made four of these, and I need all four, but if people are interested
I can make
up a batch of 10 or so. Perhaps I am the only one who wants to run
naked QBUS
backplanes with modern power supplies, but if not let me know. I would
think
that they would end up costing $15-20 if I make 10x.

New subject: Second time around, was: Items free for pickup; Iowa
October 11th is a local recycling day here. I hate to do it, but I need
space for a 1954 Mercedes Benz 220S, which means supplemental things need
to go.
I had a number of people get in contact with me, but no one actually
confirmed coming to retrieve anything, so it's all still here.
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

JP,
If you'd like, I can post this on Erik's VCF--it might garner some
interest there.

I don't need one of these (since I have something very much like this
already), but from our discussions a few months ago, I do still need
some way to attach my terminal to the one I have. If you are cleaning
and run across some way cable up a console terminal from my
"workstation" board, please keep me in mind. I'd like to see if mine
works since I've never tried powering it on.
I will not be at VCFmw, sadly. I'll be at the Pittsburgh Mini Maker
Faire that weekend, but the bit I need should easily fit in a small
shipping box.
