A brief note to the mods: I've read the guidelines and I guess i'm not breaking any rules by linking my eBay auctions here. If i'm doing, feel free to moderate my posts and even delete the thread, but please send me a PM and explain me things. Else, just delete this little headnote in italic...

Hi all! :p I'm the (lucky?) owner of a 5363 that came in bad physical condition, but with darn good electronics. I couldn't see a single thing that was wrong in electronics and even if i have not tested it yet i'm confident it'll work like a charm (i'm gonna make a 3-D painting with it if it...

Hi guys. I know this may sound like a stupid question, but... How the hell do i get my MicroVAX 3300 online? I have a standard modem with RJ11 ports and a CentreCOM 210TS Transceiver between the AUI port in my VAX and the RJ11 cable. Neither my LANCE (ESA0) nor my modem seems to communicate with...

Hi guys. I've been trying to put NetBSD on this beast for a while but... 1. I need SMS dusk image, and i don't seem to be able to download it from IBM website. I beg anyone to send it to me if they have it... 2. NetBSD won't start neither from floppy or cdrom. Actually AIX is happily runninng...

Hi guys, i've plenty of Sun machines but happen to have just one kb/mouse... It's annoying. Does anyone here have some to give me? Thanks, Jack

Guys... What am i looking at? This was in the C110 and i was cleaning it because it was filthy, that's when i realized there were odd pencil marks there and the "PROTO" tag on the heatsinked chip. It seems to be non working either in my C110 and D220. GSC boards are rare by themselves, but...

Hi there, Does anyone on the forum have FX!32 or other NT4/Alpha software? I'd love to get Visual studio 6 and some other tools up and running on my PWS 500a but i can't found much software lying around, unfortunately... Thanks in advance, Jack

I wanted to sell this IC (St Microelectronics ST6356B1/UE) i scavenged form a broken TV and wanted to know if i could make some money from it. Does anyone know if it's worth something? Thanks!

I built my "HackMJ" cables with RJ11 telephone cables i had lying around. They are the cheapest thing i've ever did, I just needed to buy the DB9 connector. Here's the pinout; pretty easy. It took me five mins with a crappy soldering iron, and it was my first work ever. Just pay attention to...
