I don't know how old this is, or if it qualifies as classic, but I saw this
on the local austin.forsale newsgroup.

I have a UNYSIS 2200/400 mainframe with 1210lpm impact printer and 6'
hard disk tower with 10- 8" 1 gig Fujitsu drives.
I can't seem to sell it so I will offer to trade it for anything MAC.
QuadraAV or better. Or Sony 17" + monitor.

Well, Mac Quadra's are cheap these days (only a few hundred dollars) so
if you think the Unisys is worth a few hundred dollars, go buy a cheap
Mac and trade it with him.

New subject: SCSI to SMD convertor board? was: Re: Mainframe FS
Well, I ask:
Does there is a device already invented to use common SCSI to drive
SMD drives in between?
Sorry if I look foolish. :)
Thanks!
Jason D.
The 1 gig Fujitsu SMD drives (I assume these are
238x's or 239x's) are
commonly sold by mini dealers for several hundred dollars each.
Take a look in one of the mini rags (like _Processor_)
for price sheets.
I just bought about 1300 lbs. of SMD drives, otherwise I'd be
interested in grabbing some of the above-mentioned Fujitsus for my own PC.

New subject: DEC keys and consoles
Does anyone know of a good source of the "ubiquitous" DEC keys,
specifically one of the normal keys (for a PDP-11/10) and one of the
cylindrical keys (for a PDP-11/24)? Otherwise, if anyone has a stash of
spares or is willing to make duplicates, let me know.
Also, I'm looking for information on connecting a console to the 11/10.
The only place on this machine that looks like a likely candidate for
console connection is a double height module (an M9970 Berg backplane
connector) that is essentially unpopulated except for traces connecting
the backplane to a single Berg connector. Is this the serial interface?
If so, are there any configuration options (on another board), or am I
stuck using what I assume is a fixed 110 baud 20 mA current loop interface
(or digging up something else, such as a DL11-W)?

Speaking of newbie questions, does anyone know of a good reference for IAS?

There are three sorts of commonly-found DEC keys:
Thanks for the information. I'll try to get a copy of the cylindrical
key made using the key code. The end of the key is broken off inside the
keylock on the 11/10, so my best course of action here might be to
extract the part that is inside the lock and have a duplicate made from that.

I'm not sure what the answer to this is. I thought the standard
console interface on a 11/10 was a DL11-W. Have you tried asking
on "vmsnet.pdp-11" on Usenet?
