Today I saved from the mythical Company Dumpster the following Stuff:
DEC uVAX II/RC in 4' cab with Cipher Digital horiz. 9trk drive.
Printronix P 300 Line Printer (from long-gone Prime Mainframe)
Hewlett Packard :
(2) 7914 disk drive units, one damaged in fall.
An HP Systems cab with (1) 9144 and (2) 3000.
(1) 2563A LIne Printer. (Very nice condition)
Heads Up part: I do not particularly want the HP stuff, I took it
to be nice to the warehouse foreman (to whom it's just junk he has to
move around).
SoCal area HP collectors.... any Interest??? Anyone? I have more
than my share of non-DEC orpans now... heeellpppp....
WANTS: Unibus 9trk formatter card for Kennedy 9300, or preferably
a TE16 and cards in SoCal or thereabouts. Need vacuum column door
for abovementione Kennedy... or a whole 'nother drive... I'm not picky.
MINC stuff. FSW Votrax (commercial Version) for PDP-11.
An 11/750 w/magtape.... ?
Cheers

You sure this is an RC? The only way it would be an RC from my
understanding is if it's a VAXstation II/RC. Three of the slots in the
backplane have been filled with Rosen, so you can't use them. It was DEC's
idea of a "Reduced Cost" system. The RC should be in a BA23. Of course I
guess it would be possible to hack something like that together, after all
I've pulled out the video card on mine so I can plug a RL02 controller in
(I've actually got a non-crippled backplane for it, just haven't bothered
to put it in).

That's what the little badge says above the switches.... I
haven't had time to look in the computer yet... the back panel has
the ethernet port and 8 serial connectors, and ribbons for the
Cipher. I didn't get the model of the cabinet, but it's 4' high and
the uVax is mounted on rack rails on it's side under the magtape.
Nothing alse in the cabinet but the power controller.
Any HP afficianados out there... I am really curious to see what
thes various things do... I have noknowledge of the computing side
of HP, though I have used (and own) tons of their test gear.
