I recently came into possession of a relatively large pile of on-topic stuff, and have some of my own that I want to get rid of. I haven't completed inventorying it all yet - there are a half-dozen boxes I've yet to look through - but it's slow enough going that I'm sending around a list of what I have inventoried in case anyone is interested. When I get the rest gone through I'll post another list. This stuff is all "cover shipping from Montreal and it's yours". That includes free if picked up - drop me a line to arrange such. Feel free to ask questions if you want more information about anything. Except as noted, everything is untested; some items I can test if desired - again, drop me a line. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse(a)rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B The list, mostly in no particular order: TI Programmable 57 pocket calculator, including wall-wart, carrying case, and "Making Tracks Into Programming" manual. Battery pack included but will not charge enough to power the calculator even for seconds. Red filter over display has come loose but is present. Worked as of a month or two ago, when powered with wall-wart. Some keys occasionally act a little flaky. I bought this new on 1981-01-26 and still have the receipt. Numerous (ca. 20-30) cables, 25-pair POTS-quality wire. One end has Centronics-50 connector; the other is loose wire ends. Length is some small numbers of metres - about right for cross-connect within a wiring closet. A rackmount panel with 64 eight-conductor RJ45-style jacks on the front; on the back, each four jacks are wired to a Centronics-50 connector. A C-50 gender-bender is attached to each. Note these are NOT Cat-V, probably not even Cat-III - they look intended for POTS use, or perhaps serial lines, to my eye. A rackmount power switch/filter of some kind. It has a mains cable (which is cut off near the box), a space where a switch has been removed, and five outlets (two "filtered" and three "unfiltered") of the sort you find on some computers to feed switched power to another box - the same connector you find on the computer end of most computer mains cords. The metal box has a corner twisted and torn; it either suffered a peculiar accident or was attacked by someone who wanted to get into it but couldn't be bothered to remove the screws. Inkjet cartridge refilling equipment (syringe, hole-maker, small bottle of black ink). Old Sun-2-era external disk enclosure, ca. 1'x1'x4". Two DD50F SCSI connectors and mains power connector. Contains power supply, Micropolis 1325 drive, adapter board between SCSI and the drive, and internal cabling to hook it all together. EMP "Manual Mini Modem MM-102". Not acoustic-coupler, but almost that old; has answer/off/originate switch, power-on and carrier-detect lights. Includes wall-wart thought, but not tested, to go with it. Captive telco cable ending in RJ11 plug; also has RJ11 "TELE JACK" connector and DB25F connector for host. Ten Cabletron TPT-2 AUI-to-UTP transceivers. These predate the current 10baseT standard for link test; they do not reliably detect link when connected to (some) modern equipment, but at least two of them work fine when connected to one another with a crossed cable. There presumably exists 10baseT equipment they work with; as far as I know I have none. Hayes Smartmodem 2400. In original package, including styrofoam packing, box, manuals, business-reply cards, wall-wart. Box has some cosmetic damage - scuffs, small rips - but is basically intact; the styrofoam has basically no damage and the modem's cosmetic condition verges on pristine. Packard Bell PB2400PLUS modem. Includes wall-wart, manuals, 5?" floppy still in sealed envelope, styrofoam packing, but not surrounding box. S-100 (I think) board from Cromemco, labeled "8K BYTESAVER" with eight 24-pin DIP sockets. It includes a switch labeled "PROGRAM POWER" and a 7812, so I assume it is a PROM reader/burner. S-100 (I think) board. It looks like a memory board; it is marked "S100" and "10032-B" and includes a 4x16 array of 18-pin DIP sockets, all empty. It has 32 ceramic disc capacitors, presumably for power-supply decoupling; two are physically damaged to the point where I would not trust them to remain unshorted without testing. SPARCstation 2 mainboard. The CPU has been replaced with a Weitek POWER?P. No RAM. This board does not work; my best guess is that the fault is in the CPU. An ISA card from "ARCHIVE CORPORATION". Back-panel interface is a DB25F, with a 50-pin header just behind this. Marked "ASSY 80530-151" and "REV A"; the "151" and "REV A" are stamped, the "ASSY" and "80530-" are silkscreened. A MITEL SMART-1, whatever that is. It's marked "PAV Chaining" and "Positive Account Code Verification With Chaining". The interfaces are: a peculiar 3-pin power connector; a jack which is physically RJ45-compatible; and a DB25F. I suspect the jack is actually for POTS, since the device is marked with Canadian telco regulatory foo. The matching power supply is included. Two cables from Centronics-50 to DA15, with handwritten tags saying things like "PBX<->NAV" "PRI #1". An octopus cable from a DE9F to three DB25Ms. The DB25Ms have only some pins present: 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 20 on two connectors, the third the same except lacking pin 6. Six DE9M-to-DE9F video cables from the Sun-3 days, when they used monochrome monitors with DE9 connectors. Three co-ax cables with BNC connectors on the ends; one marked with masking tape and marker G, one B, and the third (apparently identical otherwise) unmarked. Eight NeXT video cables - the 19-pin D-shell kind. Seven are about a foot and a half long, the other more like nine or ten feet. A PC case. Contains practically nothing - internal wiring for the front-panel switches is about it. No power supply or mobo. Two Sun-3/60 cases, with power supplies but no machines or plastic cosmetic covers - just the metal boxes with the power supplies.

(This is a largeish box, maybe 1'x1?'x6", not just a floppy-storage box.)

A three-ring binder marked "SunOS 4.1 Release & Install"; it appears to contain exactly that. The plastic piece that tries to keep the pages from ripping is split across, but both pieces are present. A package marked "NetWorker for Solaris 4.0.2" and "Online: DiskSuite 3.0". It contains a CD jewel case marked "NetWorker for Solaris", still shrinkwrapped; stapled pages marked "Networker for Solaris Single Server 4.0.2 Release Notes"; stapled pages marked "Online: DiskSuite 3.0 Release Notes"; and an envelope marked "NetWorker for Solaris Enabler Certificate Enclosed", seal still intact. "Binary Code License" - EULA for something from Sun. Doesn't say what it applies to specifically, just "the accompanying software". It may or may not have originally accompanied one or more of the CDs above. Sun SPARCstation 1 doc box, containing SPARCstation 1 Installation Guide SPARCstation 1 Sun System User's Guide Computers of the C=64/TI99 era (post-8008 pre-IBMPC), and related stuff. When something is "supposedly" for use with a given machine, this means that it was so marked by the person I got this stuff from, but I haven't tried it myself. Interact Integrated keyboard and cassette tape Apparently designed for TV output; captive output co-ax cable Captive power cable to wall-wart (North American plug) Connectors: DB25F and two DE9Ms Back has sticker saying INTERACT ELECTRONICS, INC. MODEL NO. ONE FCC TYPE APPROVAL NUMBER, TV-579 MANUFACTURER, INTERACT ELECTRONICS, INC. SERIAL NUMBER, 0 1 4 5 7 5 VALID ONLY WHEN OPERATED PURSUANT TO F.C.C. RULES, PART 15 Fragments apparently constituting most of another Interact (keyboard, cassette mechanism, wall-wart, main board with two empty IC sockets, one probably the CPU). Amiga 2000. Includes keyboard and mouse but no display. (See also Amiga stuff above.) Includes some six to eight inches of paper which appears to be printouts and doc photocopies for Atari stuff. TI-99/4A ("TEXAS INSTRUMENTS HOME COMPUTER"). In what appears to be the original packaging, with power supply and TV video modulator. Commodore 64, in what appears to be the original box, with power supply, TV video monulator, a couple of other cables, a spare keyboard(!), and an antistatic bag which supposedly contains chips pulled from another C64. Laser 128, in the original box (which claims it's Apple IIe/IIc compatible but has "everything" already built in). A Commodore "Single Drive Floppy Disk", model 1541 - an external 5?" floppy drive, supposedly for the C64. Nine joysticks, supposedly for the C64. A "64modem", presumably a modem for the C64. (Connectors and markings are consistent with that theory.) A "B.I. printer interface", supposedly for the C64. A VOLKS 6480 modem (1200/300 BPS, autodial/autoanswer, for the C64 and C128, if the box is to be believed). An obviously homebrew (and rather carelessly built) reset button attachment, supposedly for the C64. A "Forth 64" cartridge, from "handic software ab", presumably (and supposedly) for the C64. A C64 three-in-one card. This has three card-edge connectors and a three-position switch, and a single card edge to plug into a C64. Presumably it's so you can leave three things physically connected all the time and switch which one is logically connected with the switch, instead of constantly swapping modules. Bears the name "NAVARONE". A C64 four-in-one card. This has four card-edge connectors and a single card edge to plug into a C64. There is also an enable switch next to each socket, a reset button, and a fuse. Bears the name APROTEK. Comes with a slip of paper which is akin to a user's manual and a piece of ribbon cable with a card edge on one end and a card-edge connector on the other. The conductor count and inter-connector spacing are different from those on the gadget itself. Two cables, about five feet long, with a peculiar DIN-shell four-conductor connector on one end and bare wire ends on the other. Pin placement on the connector is identical on both cables. Something in a box which is hand-marked "Pow. Sup. C64 Repairable". The device is marked "INPUT 117VAC 60HZ" "OUTPUT 5VDC-1.8A 9VAC9VA". Included is a sheet with something that could reasonably be a schematic for such a power supply, though I haven't opened the device to check whether it matches the schematic. It has two cords, one to a North American mains plug, the other to a 7-pin DIN-shell connector. A "PROTECTO BIG BLUE PRINTER INTERFACE", in a box hand-marked with the Commodore name. A good deal of paper, including such things as documentation in French for NetNorth/BITNET and a number of pages torn from magazines containing computer-related articles, and documentation for a number of games. It wouldn't surprise me to find a floppy or two amid them; I didn't go through them in detail.
