Hello all,
A private collector is giving away most of his computer stash. Stuff
marked (*) is possibly already claimed; other stuff probably isn't, so
make your free claim. There is a risk of stuff getting trashed, which
none of us want happening - see "points" below.
= QBUS-based VAX (nice) =
4 x MicroVAX 3400 - ok, what we have are 4 x BA213 cabinets, filled with
many cards including processor+memory (KA640), and a huge pile more of
QBUS cards, which will be catalogued separately. Millions of DESQA and
other Ethernet cards are certainly apparent. I know at least two of
these have 110V supplies fitted, but I also think there are 240V supplies
lying around somewhere. Some have bulkhead panels in need of cleaning up
where the battery has misbehaved.
2 x VAX 4000-500 - similar comment on the bulkheads, otherwise some nice beasts
.
(* at least one of each of the above taken)
2 x R400X - expansion boxes
(*) BA215
= QBUS-based VAX (cabinets only in various states of undress) =
2 x BA123 - contains parts of a uVax II, not looking healthy

(were the things below uVAX or VAXstations??)
1 x MicroVAX 10
(*) 2 x MicroVAX 2000
= Other Digital computers =
PDP-11/34 - with front panel, boots to ODT, no hdd/floppy
(*) DECmate III (PDP-8)
2 x DECstation 3100 MIPS R2000-based
3 x DEC rainbow + much software: system kit, CP/M-86, Lotus 123, MS-DOS
= Digital peripherals =
various x storage expansion (BA46A and BA42B?)
6 x RX50 floppy drive
5 x TK50 tape drive + tapes
Digital TU58
many x TK70 drives + tapes
many x 8-inch floppy drive
many x other DSSI hard drives
many x RD5x hard drives - "*rare!!*" as eBay would say, and data may
need wiping; - certainly available but possibly not immediately
many x MMJ cables
= Digital terminals (genuine) =
VT520
VT320
(*) VT240
VT102
= Digital documentation =
RSX-11M 1/2A-B/3A-B/4A-B/5/6/7 (ie nice and complete
RT-11 2/4/5
VMS: Using DECwindows (grey)
VAX C (grey)
some DUNIX 4.0B manuals
(*1 taken) 2 x TCPware for VMS boxes
= CP/M workstation =
Shelton SIG/NET
Gemini Galaxy 2
= IBM PC/compatible =
2 x IBM XT genuine with 386 upgrade cards
2 x IBM PS/2-70
(*) DEC Prioris w/ storageworks cabinet
many x old 286-era stuff
= thin client style PCs =
Netvectra N30
(*) NCD ThinSTAR - WinCE
2 x mini ITX silver cases (empty...)
= Apple computer and peripherals =
Apple Macintosh II
Apple Macintosh SE
2 x Apple IIe
2 x Apple IIgs w/ 2 x 5.25" + 2 x 3.5" ?
6 x Disk II floppy drives
Appleworks GS
Hong Kong Apple II clone w/ built-in FDD - another "*rare!!*" so this
might be handled separately?
= Commodore =
Commodore Amiga B1500
Commodore Plus/4
several x Commodore 64
2 x Commodore VIC-20
= Acorn =
3 x BBC B
4 x Acorn electron with PSU
Acorn A3000
3 x Microvitec Cub monitors
= Other microcomputer =
2 x Amstrad CPC-464
Amstrad CPC-128
Atari ST 520FM
Atari 1024ST
2 x Dragon-32
HX-10 - MSX
Microtan 65 homebuilt

London 32
London 16
= Misc =
Psion Organiser II printer
ChannelPlus Genlock Message Centre (?)
19" rackmount fan tray
64180 in-circuit emulator
Westcode systems serial port switches
Intel MDS 220
lots of miscellaneous stuff for all the above - cables, ADB/Sun keyboards, etc...
oodles of terminators, T-pieces
Points:
(1) Claim these items ideally within the next couple of weeks, although
should be able to hold on to certain things for a few weeks more --
especially if you can tag something and give an approximate time to
fetch it/have it delivered.
(2) Unless otherwise indicated, items can be collected free from near
Horsham, West Sussex, England, or will be posted absolutely anywhere,
as long as you pay handling/shipping costs (Paypal etc is possible if
you're abroad). If you turn up in person, you can probably take a lot
more than you originally planned, if you feel like it.
(3) Condition: Nothing listed is known to be broken, but everything
should be considered untested. Some obvious points: Storage will be
absent from the VAXen, and external PSUs missing from some of the
microcomputers. Feel free to ask questions, but no guarantees!
(4) Items marked (*) are probably already taken, but feel free to
express your interest anyway, in case minds change. Other things may
also be claimed by the time you read this.
(5) Super-top-prize (of gratitude to anyone who wants to provide
space to store this stuff for longer (or just play with it, most
importantly to SAVE it all from destruction).
Feel free to e-mail me on tgarcia AT hivemind DOT org.
Feel free to send this anywhere sensible (already on classiccmp, c.s.dec).
Thanks.
