New subject: HP 9000/720 memory

17 Oct 1999

Randy, I have another 11/73 loaded I was going to put up on EBay , you can
have it for $300. It has a tape drive, RD52, memory, 8 line serial port,
runs, its missing one switch on the front and the bottom of the stand is
cracked.. other than that it runs micro rsx - happy machine. I think I might
be able to dig up an RX50 for it as well.

If you want it or anyone else please email me.

 Hello all -

About a week ago I put a bid on a Micro PDP-11/23 on ebay. I was top
bidder until the end. Of course the end was when I was asleep (3 AM)
this morning (serves me right for sleeping). Got up and was very
disappointed. Since the recent discussion about collectors vs.
enthusiasts I thought I would share this with the group. As a new
collector, I have been reading alot about sources and establishing
networks but they are not in place yet so one of my main venues is ebay
at this time. I plan to start contacting scrappers, universities, and
friends in companies soon. But, alas, today a PDP-11/23 flew by.
