New subject: DECtape success (was Re: Stuff available in UK)

3 Sep 2002

It's that time again -- time to clear a little space.  Here are a few
things I need to get rid of, some are things that I part with only
reluctantly because I've had them a while, some are things that have been
replaced with "better".  All have to go *soon*.

PDP-11/23 in a BA11-N box (upgraded to Q22, so equivalent to BA11-S) with
11/23 processor, memory, serial lines, etc.  This was the first PDP-11 I
ever had, but it has to go to make room for an even more interesting one.

Free to a good home:

Dual 8" double-sided floppies in a 3U-high rackmount case with 240V power
supply.  50-pin SA850-type interface.  Very nice unit made by Baydel (of
RAID fame).  I might also have a Q-bus floppy controller to go with this;
it was once used with the 11/23 above.

PDP-11/24 system chassis (also 3U high) and boards, including CPU and KT-24
Unibus map, maybe some others.

Trust 9600 SP+ A4 colour scanner and SCSI interface card, with
documentation and floppies.  Works well under windows, not quite so well
under Linux/SANE.

I might also have a DEC TS11 and TS03 tape unit going spare.

A few assorted DEC (and other) bits available to anyone who collects any of
the above.

Lastly, my much-loved Star LaserPrinter 8.  This is a laser printer based
on a Canon SX engine, like an HP LaserJet II.  Originally with 1MB of
memory, upgraded to 2MB, so it can handle a whole page of graphics plus
some extra fonts/forms.  Parallel and serial interfaces.  In very good
clean condition, it's had about 26000 pages through it from new (I bought
it around 1988).  I'd like to get (a small amount of) money for this.

I would consider trading any of the above for a Unibus disk controller, a
Viking QTD controller, or a TU56 ;-)
