Stuff to trade/stuff I'm looking for

While I'm thinking about it, I thought I'd do a quick troll for stuff I've
been looking for. I'd rather trade around for stuff, but I'd be willing to
pay real money (gasp) for some stuff:


A keyboard for my HP2649 terminal

HP2392, HP2622, or HP2645 terminal. I need one for my 3000 (using a laptop
with an HP term program right now). The 2649 I have is dubious; I get a
screen full of what looks like garbage to me, but then again, I don't have
a keyboard and, in addition, the 2649 is interesting in that it could have
a custom program on it for something other than being a straight terminal.

An HD for my HP3000 that will fit in the bottom rack space. I've gotten
some great info from Joe Rigdon on models and have my eyes open; I need
something big enough so that I can do the initial install of MPE V 3P with
full subsys (it's been estimated that I need at least 100mb or so).

Qbus ethernet card (for my 11/23 compat)
Qbus scsi controller card
Qbus MFM controller card

A scsi interface for the Atari ST (like an ICD/etc).

A Hayes Smartmodem 2400 w/ps.


What I currently have to trade:

Sparcprinter w/LP sbus interface card/required cables
Sparc 1 w/24megs ram (If you want both, I'll give you the lpviio.h header
file for Ghostscript and you could use linux to make a printer server -
i.e., cheap networked laser printer for Mac/Windows/Unix machines)

SunOS 4.1 System Manual, volumes I - III
SunOS 4.0 Network Administrator's Guide
SunView Programmers Guide
I'm sure there's a couple others (all 3-ring binders)

Cables, cables, cables. DB25 and DB9 serial, AT keyboard extenders,
other misc, lots of them.

Cat5 patch bay, 24 ports.

(warning: not yet classic in the list sense)

486 laptops in various states. A bunch of working Epson Action Note 650's,
a working Epson Action Note 895c (color, Cyrix DX4-100).

Pentium laptops, mostly pieces. Retired for cracked screens/non
operational. Some of the Dell P-75 bases work fine (cracked screens).

I'd gladly entertain interesting trades for any of this stuff, with one
caveat: I am the world's worst shipper. It takes me a long time to do it,
and I hate it with a passion. As a general rule, I really won't ship
anything that weighs more than 20 pounds total. Also, I mostly got this
stuff for free/trades, so I don't really want to "sell" any of it...

I'll be at TRW this month, so I'd be happy to bring anything down there
with me...just let me know if you want any of it!

Cheers,

Aaron
