A bunch of QBus stuff in Las Vegas

I haven't seen this here yet, so I am forwarding it. I expect at least
*someone* here will be interested.

Standard Disclaimer: I am merely the messenger; I have no knowledge of,
nor interest (financial) in, this equipment.





Q-bus equipment up for bids, potentially free.

I have a moderately sized lot of Q-bus equipment up for grabs.

Before you get all excited, I have some statements to make up-front:


1.) This equipment is being offered as a LOT. It will not be pieced-out.

     Equipment must be picked up in Las Vegas. I do NOT have time to box/ship
this stuff.

     Boards, and small components are in boxes. Bigger items are not.
     Since this is being offered as a lot, ALL the equipment must be removed.

     There is enough equipment to fill a 10' U-Haul mover.

2.) It has been stored in a garage for the last 4 years.
     Temperatures varied from 50 - 100 degrees,
     with a humidity range of 10 to 25%.
     Equipment has NOT been powered up during this time.

3.) All of the major equipment (drives, boards, etc.)
     were working at some point, but there are no guarantees
     as to their operability.

4.) I will accept bids on these items via e-mail, with a cut-off date of
02/22/02.
     I will keep track of any interested parties, and if I don't receive any
bids,
     the equipment will go to the first person that I can make arrangements
with,
     to come out and pick everything up. In which case, all it will cost you
is
     the time, and the truck rental.


Most of this list is from memory -- I'm sure there are things that I'm
forgetting.
Additionally, there are one or two boxes of miscellaneous pieces/parts.

Qty Item Notes
----- ---------------------------
----------------------------------------

2 6' racks, w/ PDP-11 logo No side panels, or back doors.
                                          8" round fans on top.

2 BA23 chassis/power supply New-style internal power supply
cables, per ECO.

2 BA23 rack-mount kits

1 BA23 floor-standing enclosure Empty case only.

1 BA11 chassis/power supply 22-bit backplane. Don't know which
flavor;
                                          could be 9275 or 9276.

1 BA11 rack-mount kit

1 Rack-mount RX50 chassis Don't remember the model number, or
                                          which pieces/parts are actually
there.
                                          I think the original power supply was
                                          yanked, and a generic power supply
mounted
                                          in the back.

1 LA180 printer. Might have the serial interface
inside,
                                          but I'm not sure.

1 Cable for LA180 to LPV11

2 RL02 drives, w/ rails 10-meg removable pack drives. 19"
                                          I have one set of unit number caps, 0
- 3.
                                          I have about 5 or 6 RL cables, enough
to
                                          daisy-chain 4 drives to controller.

2 RL01 drives, with rails 5-meg removable pack drives. 19"

1 Fujitsu Eagle 474 MB SMD drive, rack mount with
rails. 19"

1 Cipher F880 tape drive Front/auto loading 1/2" 9-track
magtape drive. 19"

2 Hitachi DK512-S drives 150MB 5.25" SMD drives.

1 Seagate 8" SMD drive Don't remember capacity; 800 meg,
maybe 1.2 gig.
                                          In a home-brew chassis w/ power
supply.

1 Maxtor 130MB MFM drive Full height. Might be 150MB.
Unknown condition.

2 Quantum Q540 MFM drives 30MB Full height. Unknown condition.

2 Seagate ST-type drives. Half Height. At least one 10MB, one
20 or 40MB.

1 RX50 drive Full-height dual-floppy.

1 TK50 tape drive Full-height. Condition unknown.

1 TK70 tape drive Full-height. Condition unknown.

1 Generic chassis w/ 8" floppies Unknown condition. Probably not
RX02-compatible.

1 Centronics brand printer Wide carriage dot-matrix w/ lcd front
panel.

1 LA12 portable terminal Serial port works, not sure about the
modems.

2 VT220 terminals Possibly 3. . . w/ keyboards

1 IBM video terminal Unknown model (3150?) Does VT100
emulation.

1 VT50 terminal, w/ printer It's a classic. ;-)


Boards:

2 KDJ11 CPU's 11/73's, quad, w/ boot & serial
ports.
                                          18Mhz crystals installed, if I
remember right.

1 KDF11 CPU 11/23, quad, w/ boot & serial ports.

2 Camminton CMV504 2-meg dual-height q-bus memory.

1 Camminton CMV4000 4-meg quad-height q-bus memory.

1 MSV11-PK (?) 512K quad-height q-bus memory.

2 DELQA Q-bus ethernet controllers.

1 LPV11 Probably 2. Q-bus line printer
controller(s).

1 Generic DLV11-J Possibly 2.

1 RQDX3 MFM controller.

1 RQDX2 MFM controller.

1 RQDXE Q-bus RQDX drive expander card.

1 QD32 Dual-height SMD controller.

1 DQ248 Quad-height, 4-drive SMD-E
controller.

1 Tape controller It's either a DQ132 or a TC03.

1 DEC Terminal server 200 or 200 MC -- requires MOP loader.

1 Emulex CS02 Multiplexer With 16-port panel and cables.

1 TQK50 controller For TK50 cartridge tape drive.

1 TQK70 controller For TK70 cartridge tape drive.

1 RLV21 controller Possibly 2. For RL01/RL02 drives.




This is all that pops to mind right now, but I know there's a bunch more
out there. I have covered all the important items, though.

I'm THINKING that I had a dual 11/73 board out there, as well as
an Emulex QD01/D MFM controller, but these might only exist in my imagination.

I know I have a few boxes of media out there (tapes, RL01/RL02 packs), but I
have
no idea what condition they're in at this point.

There are also a few boxes of DEC magazines, and a box of some sort of
UNIBUS hardware out there -- mostly DZ11 boards. There should be a set
of Q-bus extension/expansion cables, for daisy-chaining backplanes.
