Subject: Auto dealer closure uncovers...
An old Auto dealership closed and I got some interesting older equipment.
A Reynolds and Reynolds 1000 Z80? 8 bit computer, two floppy from
about 1980. An all in one with keyboard, monitor and two early 5 1/4"
floppys.
2 ADM 5 terminals, the classic early ADM all in one design.
3 Televideo 925 terminals with keyboards
Reynolds and Reynolds 2000 tower server (Multibus 1) No HD
This is actually a NCR 4350 7102.
Original IBM XT286 wi original box, no HD
Original IBM CGA Color Monitor wi original box and packing.
TI 820 Dot Matrix printer in its box. A real classic workhorse.
2 LA 120 Decwriter III printers. Why oh why do I want these. Will part
out or ship whole.
Nice IBM 2390 Plus 24 pin dot matrix printer.
A old Cosmowriter 4000 daisywheel printer with both parallel and
serial interfaces
A bunch of RJ45 serial cable kits.
And a OT Mac G3 300 small tower, Sony Monitor and no Hard drive. I
think I am going to try to get this to work. I have a spare HD but no
OS. I understand it will run OSX but slowly.
They kept all the hard drives rather than let me erase them. They even
stripped the Reynolds and Reynolds 1000 down trying to find a HD, not
realizing it is just a two floppy 8 bit computer. I had to put the
housings back on to get it in the van.+
The NCR 3450 tower is very heavy and awkward and I am inclined to
strip it down unless someone objects.
If anyone on the list is interested in anything let me know. Please
contact me off list or at whoagiii at
gmail.com. I thought I would
mention it to the list first before it hits eBay. I am a good packer.
They had lots of space so anything they discontinued use to got sent
to the basement. I remember early Data General systems running in Auto
Parts stores also. This is one of the reasons I check the old users
when they close down. Unfortunately much of the equipment is quite
dirty.
