Gee Bob, with the ESP program, and subsequent brainwave business,
I thought fer sure you'd be a para-psychologist! :^)
Who you gonna call . . . ?

New subject: PDP-11 available, Bristol, UK
It's time to clear out some space in the garage...
I have a PDP-11 available to any collector on the list
who'd like to come to Bristol and collect it! According to
the yellowing paper sheet taped to the top, it has:
M8186 KDF11 LSI 11/23 CPU
M8044DB MSV11 Memory 32K
M8029 RXV21 Floppy Disk
M7952 KWV11A Programmable Real Time Clock
M7954 IBV11A Instrument Bus Interface (IEEE-488 I think)
M7941 DRV11 Parallel Line Unit
M8043 DLV11J Four Async serial interfaces
M8047 MXV11 Memory and Async line interfaces
I can also supply an LA34 console DECwriter and an LA100
receive-only printer, if required. There's a 19-inch rack
with the PDP-11 and a pair of 8-inch floppy disks (RX50s?).
Also a spare pair of 8-inch drives, not in the rack.
Last time I tried it, the system booted up OK. I have the
boot disks, somewhere. Once I find them, I'll let you
know. RT-11, I think.
The machine was used by INMOS for testing the CAD
workstations that they built for chip designs that led to
the transputer.

John you make me want to cry, but I also wanted to thank you for posting
the offer. I hope some lucky Brit' (sorry I don't know the proper slang)
takes you up on your offer (I'm in New Jersey :-).

Who on this list was talking about starting a trans-Atlantic
classic computer sea container stuffing service?

Oi! We still want the Whitechapels and Atoms, thank you very much.
I'm shocked that there's a shortage of BBCs in the states, though.
Surely it can't cost that much to ship them?

You do realise there are collectors in the UK looking for many of those
machines (only thr BBC micro is what I'd call 'common')...

That'd be a lot more PS/2 Model 25s and NeXT cubes than Altos, Altairs, and
Apple Is. It's the number of machines made, you know. :) Maybe a few Apple
][s or ///s as padding would be acceptable? Or HP, Tektronix, and UCSD
P-System gear?

New subject: Altos P-system machine available, Bristol, UK
Continuing my mission to clear out the garage, I'd like to
offer another machine to anyone who can collect it:
Altos 8085-based machine, OEM-badged "Simpelec".
Two 8" floppy disk drives
One 14" Shugart winchester disk
19" rack-mount cabinet
P-system boot disk
Miscellanous other 8" disks
The 14" winchester looks remarkably similar to the drive in
the PERQ-I. Unfortunately, I've never managed to get the
machine to boot, access or do anything with the hard disk.
Last time I tried the machine, it ran OK with the floppy
disks, though. You'd need a terminal to use as a console.
Don't forget that P-system was not Year 200 Compliant, so
you'll have to pretend that it's still 1985 when you set
the clock!
