I was just wondering, how many computers do all you
have out there???
Not so many, others do have far much more than I have.
My little collection:
PDP 11/24 with 2 RL02's, running RSX-11M 4.0, Ultrix-11
PDP 11/34a with 3 RL01's running RSX-11M 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5
PDT 11/150 running RT-11
Mac powerbook 170
HP model G40
VT100, VT520 terminal
Teletype ASR33
Sun Sparc5 (cannot be declared yet as 'classic')
Sun IPX (ditto)

I guess now it's my turn..
Amiga 500 (got two of those), 3000
Apollo DN4000 & DN5500
Apple ][+, //c, //gs
Atari 800
Commodore VIC-20, 128, 128D
Compaq Deskpro 286
Convergent Technologies NGEN systems in 186, 286, and 386 flavours
IBM PCjr (I STILL can't get over what an utter piece of crap it is)
Macintosh 128k, Plus, SE/30 (two of those, too), IIsi
NeXTcube; NeXTstation
SGI Indy (not even close to being classic)
TI 99/4A
TRS-80 Models III and 4P
Plus the obligatory 486 (got one of the first boards, it's fairly close to
being classic itself) and pentium systems, as well as the odd one or two
I've forgotten.
Apocrypha... back when SGI first announced the Indy in 1993 or 1994, they
ran a contest to give away five machines: Why you wanted an Indy, in 25
words or less. My entry won 7th place. Oh well, I got one anyway, even
though it took me an extra five years. (:
ok
r.
9:20 a.m.
Lets see...
MicroVAX 3600 running VMS (for the while)
MicroVAX 3600 running NetBSD - has MicroTerm 200 and Wyse 50 terminals hooked up to it.
MicroVAX II running NetBSD
3 MicroVAX II's without cases
Cyrix PR-166/MMX PC running (cussword)
Intel 486DX66 also running (cussword)
Macintosh Plus (not working)
Hopefully soon, I'll be putting two of the naked MV2's into cases, and perhaps
getting a VAXstation
2000 to go along with the pile.

Well, here goes:
(Exact quantities not listed, but ranging from 1 to some, depending
on the model)
6502
PET 2001 (32k), 8032 (w/D9060 and D9090 hard disk)
VIC-20
C-64
SX-64 (one with w/1.3" IDE hard disk!)
SYM-1 (recent aquisition, not yet powered on)
68000
Amiga 1000, 500, 2000, 2000 tower, A3000, A4000, CD-32
Perkin-Elmer 7380 (SYSIII UNIX)
Motorola Trainer (SBC 4Mhz 68K + 32K DRAM)
Software Results Corp. "Node" (prototypes for a WAN router, from former job)
Software Results Corp. "ASP" (pocket-sized ASYNC<->SYNC protocol
converter
w/68008, ROM, RAM, Z8530 SIO, from former job)
Mac 512Ke (800K floppy), Mac Plus, Mac SE, SE/30.
1802
Elf (self-built) and COSMAC VIP.
Sun
3/60, SPARC1, SPARC2, IPX, IPC, LX.
VAX
8200, uVAXII, UVAXI, 11/730, 11/750, uVAX2000
PDP-11
11/34a, 11/24, 11/03, 11/23, MINC-11, 11/23+, DATARAM (3rd party Qbus box
with 8" floppy (not real RX01) and Dilog DQ614 + MFM disk emulating RL02),
11/05, 11/20 parts, 11/70 (coming soon), 11/04, PRO-350, PRO-380
PDP-8
-8, -8/L, -8/i, -8/e, -8/a, DECmate I, DECmate II, DECmate III (don't have
any examples of -8/S or WT78)
Z-80
Z-80 Starter Kit (new aquisition, not yet powered on).
Video games
Sega Genesis (68000), Odyssey 1 (analog), Gorf (arcade, stand-up, Z-80).
And, last but least, PeeCee Cloans
Zenith XT portable (used as a portable terminal), Commodore PC-10 (used as
a ROM/PAL burner), IBM 5150 PC (running a 68000 hardware tracer/debugger),
2-slot 486 (2" tall chassis, running as a Linux router for cable modem),
P133 (Linux/W95/NT), P90, 486SLC (souped-up 386), numerous 486 motherboards.
On the network (10BaseFL/10Base2/10BaseT) are a WebRamp (dial-in/dial-out
router), two Amigas, two SPARCs, the PC-10 (ROM burner) and two Pentia. If
I could get an ethernet adapter for a C-64, I'd do it.
In case this sounds like a little much, I do make my own peripherals - I
used to manufacture an intelligent serial card for VAXen and PDP-11's (The
COMBOARD(R), 68000 based, with DMA interface to Qbus/Unibus/VAXBI), and do
still make a board for the Amiga, the GG2 Bus+, that lets you stick ISA
peripherals in your Amiga (Ethernet, IDE disk, 8250/16550 serial and
printer). Much of the big iron is related to current and former manufacturing
and testing.
Last week, I bought a worthy place to store/display the collection - a spot
of land at the edge of town (Columbus, OH), with a house and a 1500 sq. ft.
quonset hut. The museum opens in 1999. Stay tuned for announcements.

I was going to name the museum the Society for Historical Infomation
Technology, but thought better of it. ;-) The Foundation for Ubiquitous
Computer Knowledge is right out.
