Dec equipment available

[sysmgr]

Unfortunatly it looks like I'm going to have to downsize (again) so it is time to get rid of my hardware collection, see below.

I'm in UK post code area GU34.

MicroVAX 3100 model 10 SCSI + Floppy
MicroVAX 3100 model 38 SCSI
MicroVAX 3100 model 76 SCSI
VAXserver 3100 model 90 SCSI + CD
VAXserver 4105 SCSI + DSSI (2 off)
MicroVAX Storage Expansion Units (including CD, DAT, TZ30, and some HDD)
PDP11/23 (also have 11/73 CPU) - used to be a VAX 11/780 console (I didn't have space for the whole 11/780!)
DEC Rainbow FDD + HDD + Graphics (repair)
DEC Rainbow FDD (repair)
DEC Rainbow Documentation + Technical Manuals
Alpha Personal Workstation 433au (system unit only) + PBXGB + DE500 + PBXDA + ISP1040
VT220 (amber)
VR290
LK201 Keyboards + Mouse + couple of boxes of cables
Misc DEC Manuals

Thanks for looking,

Do you have any spare DSSI disks that would fit a VAX 4000?

Sadly no, it would make clustering the 4000 model 105s so much easier if I had a quorum disk!

 

[g4ugm]

actually would the lk201 an mouse work with my vlc?

how big is the 11/23? is it a q-bus system?

About 2u rack mount, I think it is a 6 card cage. There are no peripherals. I've collected a few PDP bits over the years but never powered it up. It should boot to the ODT console if it is the same as the 11/24.

I still have the AXP 433u that I think you were interested in at one point, I've managed to hang on to it so far but think I may have move house again in the near future!

[g4ugm]

I would be interested in a few bits, but not sure when I can get to GU4 to collect.. Not I think the AXP but MicroVAX CD Drives and other bits.

 

[sysmgr]

Just found an LA50 and LA210 printer - the latter is unboxed but almost unused (I was going to put almost new but that was a long time ago!)

You local friendly sysmgr

 

[g4ugm]

Oddly, I would be interested in the printers. Whats your deadline on getting rid? I need to make space!

 

[rjarratt]

I am definitely interested in a few of these bits. I can't get there for 2 or 3 weeks though. I noticed Dave (g4ugm) is interested in a few bits too, I could bring those back to him as he is close to me. The bits I am interested in are:

Model 90
4105 (possibly, depends on size of enclosure)
Rainbow stuff (you don't have a Rainbow system unit, or just the main board perchance?)
VT220
Manuals (depending on what they are)

Regards

Rob

Can confirm that the 3100 Model 90 has a KA50-A CPU and 64MB RAM

I moved the TZ30 to an extrnal enclosure, not connected below.

Any VMS Manuals?

 

[zkzkz]

Is the vt220 still available? I would be interested in it.

 

[sysmgr]

Is the vt220 still available? I would be interested in it.

The VT220, LA50, MicroVAX 4105's and DEC Rainbows have all been taken. Still have 3100 Model 76, 3100 Model 38, 3100 Model 10, VR290, LA210, and cables etc

 

[daver2]

PM sent regarding the VR241 and/or VR201.

[silver]

I also have a reasonable number of PDP-11 boards available: dual, quad or unibus.

Does anyone have any specific needs?

I am near Reading, Berkshore UK.

 

[g4ugm]

I am always looking for Q-Bus cards. I have a VAX 4000-300 and a small PDP-11 which I have never had running...
