With the demise of Weirdstuff, I decided to visit Outback Equipment in
Gilroy this week. Jim Schuetz, formerly a partner at Weirdstuff is now
the Business Development Manager at Outback.
While there, I looked over the following DEC gear (includes several
non-DEC QBus cards that I'm not listing - as I have no idea what they
are). Here's the DEC gear available:
PDP 11/23 Plus (BC)
PDP 11/73A (BC)
PDP 11/23 Plus (BE) marked "Bad"
(3) QBus Zip Drive controllers
(1) M8043 DLVJ1-M (formerly DLV11-J)
(2) M8190 (AB) KDJ11
(1) M9081 (LF?)
(1) M7551 (AH?) MSV11-QA
(1) M8029 RXV21
There's more "stuff" that you can see from the pictures below. All the
PDP-11 "boxes" and boards look to be good cosmetically.

Jim would like to sell the above as a lot.
His contact info is:

Phone: 408-886-3733
Cheers,
Lyle

There is a blue board with a blue handle that is a Q-bus
Andromeda disk controller.
It will, IIRC, run one floppy and up to 2 MFM hard drives.
I had one on a uVAX-II a LONG time ago.

Yes, but not without the "Personality Modules" that connect to the 50 pin

The personality module is JUST connectors and traces. So,
you could build one with wire wrap wire or whatever. I used
to have the schematic of that module here, may still have it
around.

The WPC5W is a bit more than connectors and traces as it has an AM24LS31
on the board and requires power.? But, if you have the schematic for the
WPC8F
I would love a copy.

I sure don't remember that. I may be remembering a
different board. I will keep an eye open for the schematic,
but don't get your hopes up too high.

I have two boards and two WPC5W's for use with old disks (running out
of those!) And I have one WPC5F for 5.25 floppies.? It works really well.
I would love to find a couple WPC8F's so I could hang 8" drives on a PDP
and read some old disks as my real RX02 seems to have finally bought
the farm.? I tried using the WPC5F with the adapter from Dbit but haven't
had much luck going that way.
I like the boards!!
