Where is this all from?

List:
Just passing this along to any who might be interested. Shaun Halstead
is interested in cleaning this out:
StorageTek STK-2920 9-track, 6250bpi drives. We have 5 of these, at
least one, possibly two, have 100ips boards installed. One may have a SCSI
interface, the rest are STK interfaces.
ExaByte EXB-8700 8mm, SCSI, worked when last used (2 years ago).
Tandeberg Data 1200MB QIC drives, SCSI. We have two or three of these, all
worked when last used (>5 years ago).
Xerox-branded 9-track tape drives. 6250bpi. These are marked Laser
Magnetic Storage International, BY36KL. I believe they are LMSI/CDC model
92181, Vertical mount streaming tape unit (per the maint. manual found at
bitsavers.) I have at least 2, maybe 3 of these. One can't read
it's own writing. Not sure what the interface is, beyond 2-cable. Could
be pertec, could be STK, could be Xerox-custom.
3480 tape drives. One worked when last used, one is parts-only. Also,
one of these had a SCSI interface, the other is STK.
At least one, possibly more, Aviv Unibus tape interface boards. As I
understand it, these boards required a backplane modification in the
11/34's to operate correctly. I have 3 PDP's with these boards currently
installed, and at least one NOS on the shelf.
Other, assorted gear: Bus & Tag cables and interface cards (ISA and
PCI), with appropriate PC hardware and software for print serving.
PDP11/34 with floppy/Winchester (8" floppy, unknown HDD), last ran >5 years
ago. SMS-1000 w/ HDD, last run >5 years ago, needs software.
Tapes. Lots of tapes. 9T 2400', 1200', 600'. Some QIC tapes in various
capacities, a few 8mm. Never stored in garage/shed/attic.
I have no idea of value, usefulness, or current operational condition of
anything except the Cipher drive (dead). I can take pics of any/all if
desired. Shipping or pickup would be from Wichita, Ks.
