It was a very cheap sale. Unfortunately it means that the scrappers got most
of it. Checkout is still going on so there is a chance for some rescues if
anyone is interested. I am posting the following list in hope that someone is
interested in the misc. I will negotiate with the scrappers who bought the
following if you are interested. Cheap offers are OK but we must move fast.

Vector 3 (not a Soroc) with attached hard/floppy drive. The power cord for
the HD/FL is broke. The CPU powers up nicely and all has worked in the past.
The glare guard fabric is torn.

Two Vector 4s with hard and floppy drives. They work but I can't find
keyboards.

Vector DD-5026 dual floppy accessory.

Andromedia Systems Dual 5 1/4 floppy disk drive, DDMDS-B, SN 21. Could this
be for DEC equip.

MD 10 (Media Distributing Mfg.) Model RM11, SN 0061. One of the first small
systems hard drive. Untested.

CCS (California Computer Systems) 12 slot S 100 Mainframe with 64K static ram
(4 - 16K boards), 2850 system processor Z80A, 2805 terminator, 2422 Floppy
controller, 2830, 6 SIO. Missing the faceplate and has scratches on finish.
Goes with a complete Dual 8" external drive. Set up as a USPS controller.

IBC Multi-User Business computer, running a Z80H.

DBS 16 4 user MPM system, has a 10 meg HD and has a serial number of 48. No
terminals. Appears to work.

Vista, V-1100 dual 8" disk drive case with dual Shugart 860-1 drives.

Another drive case is a JMR Electronics with two Tandon TM848-01s. Powers up.

Commodore dual disk drive. 4040 I think. HPIB interface.

Compupros, Two 16 slots wi Tarbel Z80 CPU/IO, Ram 16 and the Tarbel MD 2022
8" Floppy controller.

Integrand 7 slot S 100 Mainframe with the funny wide slot 5 1/4" disk drive.
No cards.

A Columbia 1202-4/110 Drive cabinet with an 8" HD and an 8" Floppy.

A 10 slot Compupro with a single 8" SS drive, 8085/88 CPU, Ram 16 180A and a
Disk One.

A US Data dual 8" SD disk drive cabinet.

A Telebyte TBX front loading reel Tape drive with serial IF.

A Televideo TS803 that boots MS Dos. Works fine.

a Symmetric 375 for parts, no HD (1/2 of the power of a VAX 750)!

I have also made a deal with another scrapper to offer both 8 " hard and
floppy drives.
Several Quantum 2020s, 2040s and 2080 HDs.
Three IMI 7720 HDs
Shugart 801 and 851 full Ht Floppies
Mitsubishi 2894 - 63B Full Ht. Floppies DSDD
also Mitsubishi 1/2 Ht 2896-63B DSDD Floppies,
Tandon 848 1/2 Ht floppies of different versions,
NEC 1165-FQ & 1 1165-A 1/2 Ht floppys, and
Shugart 810 and 860 1/2 Ht floppies, all 8" drives.

All are working pulls, heads parked but untested. Looking to get $10 to $40
depending on size, condition and quantity. Shipping additional.

I also believe the VAX 730, the RA60 and the RA81s are headed for scrap.

Any Interest out there?
Paxton
