Thanks everybody for the heartwarming responses,,,and the corresponding requests for "first dibs" on much of the collectibles I will be parting with. :-) I really did not fathom, just how much stuff I have. When you get around to trying to inventory it, a project I started and abandoned several times over the lat few years. It seems a bit overwhelming. Add to the fact that much of the stuff that I thought was "here" or "there" was not in the spot I remember it being. This was no doubt to my dad moving stuff around, forgetting he did, and not telling anybody where he put it. Fortunately, I do not think he threw any hardware away, but I'm afraid some documentation may be lost, or put in an area where it was exposed and damaged by the elements, but It will take a lot more "digging" through literally piles of equipment to find stuff. Something I am not looking forward to in the HOT arizona summers. I have decided to tackle this effort by dealing with Items by brand name and since I have a lot of DEC stuff, it will go first, then move on to HP, then IBM, then the odd stuff. So far I have counted close to 200-250 various DEC qbus boards, some VAX, some PDP. More importantly I have about a dozen BA11/BA22 chassis, a few BA123 , a few other BA4xx chassis. Some stuff I will be selling on Ebay, but I would prefer to sell some of my pdp stuff through the list, and to cut down the amount of shipping I would have to do, I would like to sell a few "complete" pdps in the smaller chassis, I have more than a few lsi-11/2, 11/23 and 11/73 with enough peripheral boards and memory for at least 4-5 units, maybe more. On some of the chasis, like a BA11-M they would be sans any actual disk, others would have a rd OR rx50 drive. If no drive they would at least have the qbus board. Whatever boards and odd things I would have left over would go to anyone who will throw a few dollars my way. Almost all the pdp's can be shipped via UPS, except the BA123. My UniBUS machine, the 11/04 is mounted in the standard dec pdp full-height rack with a 3rd party RX02 floppy and a unique TS07 upright reel-to-reel. The 11/04 works, the RX02 gave a lot of read errors (dirt or dust most likely) and the TV07 is a "project" ,not working, but is complete, the whole system, I'm afraid it would need to be freighted, as I would like, if possible, sell it in one piece. I will also be selling a ISI PDP-MAC, that's a M68K processor on a Qbus quad height board. I think this one has the 10Mhz and about 1MB of memory on board (although I'm not real sure as the cards contained between 128k to 1MB on board) expandable to 4mb) with on board MACSBUG 1.0 firmware, two serial ports and a parallel port, I will use most any qbus peripheral card made for the pdp/vax. I was trying to find a Unix prom that would allow it to run 4.2 BSD and maybe even Netbsd (looking through the M68k source code, the qbus hooks are there!) I do not know what OS will run using the MACSBUG firmware. So would there be interest in doing this? I am not going to set a firm price but more of a "make offer" type of deal (be generous as it goes to the widow and orphan fun...mom) but may set a reserve on some things. For someone who doesn't have a pdp, but was looking for one, or wants to get started with a small one, here's your chance. Be prepared to make your own cables, though, as I cannot find the boxes of DEC cables I once had, and you will need to configure it yourself. Some cards may require you to move a few dip switches or set a few jumpers. I know more than a few have asked for certain things and I'm on it, but it may take time to dig through and find stuff.
