A big haul of vintage stuff I got for free

You lucky Boy!

You might want to look up the Tom Baker/Lalla Ward (ooooh!) "Doctor Who" - Prime adverts. they are around on you tube I think.

Any.... ASR33s in that haul? It would be a lot easier/cheaper to import from within Europe for me. My brother in law used to regularly drive there till last month :(

It's a lot of everything really: Terminals, mainframes, S-100 stuff, monitors, keyboard, computers , drives.. It's stacked roof-high and it's hard to get at the things that's not near the edges and the top. What I saw with DEC on it was VT100's and other DEC terminals. Oh, and the diskpacks. There's probably more, but I was looking for other things.

I plan to go on a second trip, so I will keep my eyes open. I want a VT100 and I regret not taking one with me..

Heh not as I recall, but why don't you all post names of stuff I should look for, and then I can look for it the next time I go there.

For me it is anything labeled "digital" and flip-chips.

flip-chips look like this: http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/still-image/DEC/DEC_Modules/

or like this: http://www.compsy.de/moduls/gifs/M8014.jpg

Also I'm a big fan of SGI.

Being realistic though, if its to big I will probably not want to pay for shipping and I can't promise a roadtrip to Norway _this_ year.

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. I need to call the guy who owns the stuff and schedule a day when I can come back.
 
What a lucky find! I'm jealous.. Especially of the Compaq "Portables" and the Apple Lisa. Hope you can clean up after the battery disaster.

As some one else on this forum found out not too long ago, there is a BIG difference between getting stuff and getting stuff that you can fix and/or flog :)

True. I'm not giving up on that S-100 system.. And the Compaq Portable with the memory error should be fixable.
