New subject: Latest aquisition: DEC 3000-300
At the Uni Surplus today, I spotted a lonely DEC 3000-300 with monitor
and cables marked $35. It was more than I wanted to spend on it, but
I hauled it over to the test table and plugged it all in. The monitor
isn't stable, but it did go through its power-on tests, all the way
to the "lazy sergant" prompt (>>>). It has 112MB of RAM and a 100MHz
CPU. I was about to put it back when the Surplus manager apologized
and said that she'd been meaning to mark it down. "$10 and it's
yours,"
so now it's mine.
Didn't take the time to boot it up. Figure it has Digital UNIX or
OSF/1 on it. Got the keyboard. Needs a mouse.

I think the Surplus Manager is still happy with me that I took the
DEC 4000-710 off her hands (I really only wanted the TSZ07, but
what DEC-head could resist a mini-class box with 192MB of RAM,
1 processor with a second one possible, 5 SCSI buses, disk and
tape for less than the cost of shipping the tape drive?)
I let her know that I'm interested in anything Digital. She's
done a good job of keeping an eye out for me. Unfortunately,
they don't get all that much DEC stuff; most of it left years
ago. I keep waiting for some really classic stuff to show up,
but not lately (I did get some 11/03s w/RX01s from these same guys
ten years ago for $10, and some PET 8032s for about the same).
They did have three SGI monitors today - two with BNC, one with
SGI 13W3 connectors in and out. The "little" ones were under
$25; I think the newer, bigger one was $35. One Mac 6100/66,
no disk. IBM Selectrics. Thin pickings today.
