Hi,
After the last purge my company had I saved
a few things that the listers might like . . .
I don't Have to get rid of anything but wouild like
to make some space.
Z80 architecture CPU boards from a Wang VS-90.
Memory boards from the abovementioned.
These are about 18" square and have dozens of
memory chips on them. It's a nice neat arrayed
layout with a suport backbone going down the
middle. Kinda looks like an EPROM magnified
10,000 times.
I'm keeping one for a wall hanging but don't
need the rest.
Disk drives:
Both these units include on-board diagnostic
control panels and displays.
I've got a manual for the Fujitsu that can be copied.
Control Data 94041211 FSD 340 MByte
AKA an PA561M
This is the smallest "Big Iron" drive
I've found. Easily carried at about 60 lbs.
Looks great opened up. About 10" platters.
>>>> Anybody know more about these? <<<<
Fujitsu M2351A/AF 474.2 MByte
About twice the size of the FSD.
About 12" enclosed platters. Same model used
by some CAD companies to make single rack
systems in ~1980. With the cover off it looks
like a Harley Davidson engine.

Everything above is available in >1 quantities.

This I'm still playing with but if someone feels strongly about
it I'll give it to 'em (after just a little more play time though <g>).
The actual WICAT.
M68000 architecture mini. It has some of the look and feel
of VAX/VMS at about 1/2 the complexity. (Instead of SHO DEV
you might say SHOD for example). Cool On-line help and
boots very fast. Nice light weight backplane enclosure.
Full control over terminals, tapes, disks, etc. Manuals come
with it. Contains a type of programming system that I'll learn
more about shortly.

Enjoy.
If anyone shows an interest I'll hold items for you
up to and beyond Christmas.
