Hello list.

I have a mixed bag of classic gear.

I have a Plessy 6600/6700 ( LSI 11/24) Circa Jan 84. 80 Meg Fujitsu HD,
Cipher F800 ? Tape.

I have a D116 mini computer with which is what I think is a Nova 3 Clone-
similar Front Panel - paper tape. and a slew of Serial ports.

I have a DG3 (Kennedy? tape transport)

TI 990/10 CPU w/ Front Panel , CPU Expansion Chassis Unit, Two 10 Meg
removable hard drives and scores of serial ports - This was part of a
Paradyne modem analysis system Each modem had a primary data channel and an
analysis port where the TI 990 tracked modem maladies like lost carrier,
receive level in db etc. - Parameters One TI 990 watched 256 2400 Baud
modems, Second Hd Came from a second system I could not get. In Its
heyday we had over 300 dedicated lines.

Other systems I have:

MicroVax with VMS 4.2?
Another Cipher F880 tape drive.
TRS-80 Coco with 32 MB ram
ET3400 Microprocessor trainer

I havent been able to figure out which system I should start on,


Although I have always interested in fnding Linux for the MicroVax. I think
the MicroVax also has an 80 Meg HD, 4 Serial ports, I MB RAM I have never
been able to get the MicroVax floppy drive (800KB?) to respond.

I just discovered this list last week, And now I have HOPE that I can get
user help in assessing what I have, imagine the possibilities!!!

Sincerely, Full Garage too..
Larry Truthan
