Systems available

Well, my current job will be over next December and
I will have to move elsewhere. Unfortunately, I won't
be able to take all of my stuff with me, so I have to
get rid of things. I'll offer a few things on the list
first, then try to sell it on eBay. Other things go
straight to eBay as I don't think that there is any
interest for them here. So, here's a summary
(and before I forget, location is Ithaca, New York;
some stuff is at home and other stuff is at the
Electrical and Computer Engineering School at Cornell).
Only partial description are included; if you want to
know more particulars about something please send me personal
email to cem14_at_cornell.edu . So here's the list:


- (1) microvax II in BA123 case, 14MB RAM, KA 630-A.V1.3,
   M7555, M7546, RQDX3 (apparently wiped). I had planned
   to play with this system, but never found a SCSI
   interface, I have no tape drive for it, and I could not
   figure out rapidly enough how to load the OS from the
   network (it does have a DELQA card). The case is missing
   one of the side covers (but the card cage is intact).
   The rubber ring on the wheels of the case is disintegrating.
   Goes through self test; when you type "boot dua0"
   it answers "?42 NO SUCH FILE, DUA0".
   I also have a maxtor XT4380 and a card that is a licensed
   copy of the Webster WQESD which might be handy for this
   system. I really want this system to go to a good home.

- (1) vaxstation 2000 with 6MB RAM (I believe). I'm keeping another.

- (1) Decstation 5000/125

- (1) Decstation 5000/133

Note: these decstations come with one HD bracket each, one of them
has a 425MB HD with netBSD 1.4.1 . I think they both have 16MB RAM,
but I'm not sure. I can install netBSD 1.4.2 if you want.

- (2) Decstation 5000/33 (maxine) with 400MB HD's, 16MB RAM,
  one of the nicer framebuffers and corresponding monitor,
  keyboard and mouse. Currently with Ultrix 4.2, I think.
  Or was it 4.4? Anyway, since Ultrix is not transferable,
  the buyer should erase the hard drives. NetBSD runs in
  them, but the nice framebuffer is not supported (yet).

- (1) Decstation 2100. This machine worked non-stop as an
  ftp server for nearly five years.

- (4) Storage Expansion Units for above; two have the same box
  as the Decstation 2100, another one is in the same style of a
  Vaxstation 4000/60 (which I also have, but I'm keeping :-) .
  The last one is in the same style as the box for a Vaxstation 2000.

- Lots of ULTRIX documentation for above.

- (2) Sun IPC's with working NVRAM, and (2) more for parts.

- (3) Sparcstation 1's and 2's, some working, some non working,
  one or two systems should come out of all the parts...

- Lots of SunOS 4.1.3/4 docs

- Many HP9000/300 systems, including a 433s with 33MHz 68040,
  370, 350, 340 and 320 systems, as well as HPIB hard drives,
  tape drives, tapes, memory, storage expansio enclosures and
  other stuff that goes with them. I'm keeping a 380
  system with SCSI and a 25MHz 68040. Wish I could keep the 433,
  but it is too big.

- (4) Racks for the HP9000/300 series. If you think that the
  BA123 case is nice, you should see these...

- (3) HP9000/720's in working condition. I can install
  HPUX 10.20 for verification purposes if anyone is interested.

- HP9000/236 system with monitor and storage expansion box.
  The only system that actually has an "any" key in the keyboard :-) .
  No software or OS, though.

- HP 1000 E-series. It breaks my heart to part with this; it is
  the oldest system I have and I really wanted to bring it back
  to life. Believed to be working, but I don't have enough
  expertise to test it. (Frank: I have the list of ROMS somewhere;
  I'll post it later). Some cables for the serial cards are
  included. An HPIB HD came with this machine, but it seems to
  require service.

- Exabyte 8200 with enclosure.

... more things to come.

Most things are available for a small price; others, for the
cost of shipping + 20%, since I'm interested in finding a good
home for them. Would anybody like to pick up the microvax II?

Regards,
