Still cleaning the shop, trying to be out by the end of the week-ish. We have the
following
equipment available:
TU-80 family tape drive, in frame. Works, passes diagnostics. Make offer. Photos:
http://microfilmks.com/LMSI/
Unknown power supply module. Has NCR part numbers but google gives no love. +5 (x2), -5,
+12, -12.
Make offer. Photos: http://microfilmks.com/Ebay/UnknownPSU1.jpg and UnknownPSU2.jpg
Discom electron tube, PN 123788-2. These came out of COM microfiche cameras, and have a
blue
display. Not sure how to go about shipping them securely, but if you're interested,
we can figure
it out. I have several of these.
DEC SHD1Z-ZZ SCSI drive cabinet, tower configuration. Has SCSI-2 personality module,
power supply,
SCSI terminator and cable, 6 drive trays for 50-pin drives. Also has 4 spare drive trays
and one
spare power supply. Includes 6 1.2G SCSI drives, or if you prefer, I can remove them to
lower the
shipping weight. Asking $50 obo.
All shipping is from Wichita, Ks, 67213

Hi Shaun,
Can you estimate weight on the SHD1Z-ZZ? That's all DEC RZ26 drives in
there? I can't seem to find a picture so I'm not clear on dimensions or
weight ... Someone already claim it?
Thanks,
Sean

I am holding a DEC RZ28 (aka ST32550N) 2 GB
hard drive in my hands and it seems no different in
weight than any other 3.5" hard drive. As a rough
estimate, take any Seagate 3.5" hard drive as being
close to the RZ26. Does this help?

I replied to Sean off list. The complete array weighs about 25 pounds, with power
supply and 6
disks. I've had a couple of inquiries about it already.

I just heard DEC-branded drive box with 1 GB units and I figured it might
be a ready source of RZ26 drives; I suppose there's nothing particularly
special about them compared to any other 50-pin SCSI 1 GB drive but I like
to keep a stock of DEC firmware drives in case I get a "finicky" system on
my hands (although in practice I've found my DEC machines will run happily
with just about any drive) ... largest I've got on hand is the RZ25 ...
Shaun, thanks for responding although I think I'll pass in this particular
case. If anyone else is interested, feel free to go ahead and grab it; hope
I didn't hold anyone up.
Best,
Sean

I have BA350s, BA356s, drives, power supplies, etc if anyone needs more.
Please contact me off list.

Hmm, that's a CDC / Laser Magnetic Storage 92185 drive,
right? Looks like it probably has the buffered Pertec
interface, from the two connectors on the back. I've been
looking for a 92185 with the SCSI interface (or just the
SCSI interface board to plug into a generic 92185).
(I have 2 working 92185s with the Pertec interface, and I
kludged-up a board that will read my archival tapes, but it
would be nice to have one that makes a more direct connection.)

Correct. That's an LMSI drive. Not much help in the way of markings other than
LMSI and
Keystone. It has the 2-cable Pertec interface.

I really wish I had a Pertec to SCSI bridge. It would have made these drives far more
useful over
the years.

YEAH! I HAD one, salvaged from a Digi-Data drive. It
actually WORKED on the Keystone one time, then developed a
power-on self test failure! Darn! I sent it off to
somebody on the list, no idea if they were able to fix it.

Hmm, possibly from a Tower machine. Mine had power input (duh!), fuse,
power control jack and standby switch on the back too, albeit in a
different order. It was a lengthy beast, probably about 18" or so. DC
outputs were at the top-front, and on mine the fan actually sat at the
front of the PSU, not at the rear like yours.
cheers
