DEC units on ebay

hush said:
thankfully it's well out of my price range and even further out of the scope of my diagnostic and repair (or renewal) abilities, but i do very sincerely hope that someone is able to make a deal with the seller to keep it intact. it is nice to know that there are still some potential practical uses for it! :)

I’m thankful that it is well out of my price range at the moment, because I am not wise enough to avoid it based on the size of the project. It’s a good thing this listing didn’t come up at any of the times in the past when I would have seriously considered it.
 
https://www.ebay.com/itm/188334431894 "LOT (11) - 8” Inch Floppy Disks Diskettes Used in Dysan Case / Box" appears fairly nondescript but included are DEC distribution diskettes for APL-11/RT-11 V1 ON BIN (DEC-11-LAPTA-A-YB1 & DEC-11-LAPTA-A-YB2) which does not appear to be archived anywhere, although the V2 documentation is in Bitsavers.

There's also a copy of the distribution diskettes for RT-11 V02C (DEC-11-ORTSA-E-YC1 and DEC-11-ORTSA-E-YC2) which I'm not sure has been archived anywhere; at least I'm unable to locate a copy.

Perhaps Bitsavers could pick these up?
 
someone (hopefully not a hoarder) bought these
RT V2C is on bitsavers, probably in one of the not well curated bitpiles along with the sources
If it isn't up there I still have hundreds of floppy images read over the past 20 years that I haven't
picked though

I suppose someone should ping Frisbie again about getting copies of what he still has

I'm currently not actively attempting to make more work for myself, and have stopped following
eBay auctions and most of the social media channels.
 
With some skepticism, I bought two of these a few years ago, brand new, shipped in their original packaging, and from China.
I tested them on a QBUS CPU board with ODT, and they work.
 
This is cross posted from the "Digital Equipment Corporation - MicroFiche Underground" thread just for coverage.

Just curious if anyone around here made the winning best offer on this Ebay auction for VAX/VMS microfiche. I ask because back in February I won from the same seller a set of VAX/VMS V5.3 fiche. Once it arrived I discovered it was the last half (roughly) of the set - starting at fiche 469 through 1067, missing one in that group at 1017. Then last week the seller posted that listing and I noticed in the photos that some of the fiche were the missing ones from the set I got. I attempted to haggle the price but someone else won.
