Free stuff!

Hi everyone!

I'm not sure if this list is even active anymore, but let's hope that
this message will get routed to its proper destination.

Essentially, I'm cleaning out part of my basement, and I have a ton
of stuff that I really don't want anymore. I am offering it free of
charge to anyone willing to come out to Kalamazoo, Michgan and pick
it up. Here's what I've got:

* IBM PS/2 Model 50Z, partially stripped.

* NCR System 3300, no HDD (scsi), floppy, or MCA cards.

* DEC VT420, some scratches on screen but works AFAIK.

* Apple Power Mac 7200/90 and 7200/120, stripped, although
  if someone wants them, I'll put them more or less back together
  sans RAM and HDD (scsi).

* IBM ThinkPad 750 laptop, for parts.

* Compaq Contura 420CX laptop, for parts.

* Toshiba T3100 (gas plasma screen) laptop, for parts.

* Roughly three large cardboard boxes full of boards, including
  some of the following items.

  1. 8088, 8086, 80286, 80386, and 80486 motherboards and CPUs
  2. LOTS of ISA cards, including video, I/O, hard disk controllers
     (even some hardcards), LocalTalk cards, networking, etc.
  3. Some VLB cards, mostly video, although some I/O and hard
     disk controllers are also around, I believe.

* Data General dual 5.25" floppy drive, rack mount. I don't know
  if it works or not, but it seems to be in good condition.

* USRobotics TotalControl rackmount chassis with network management
  card, around 15-20 modem cards, dual power suppies, and some other
  stuff. I've got a bunch of cables for it, too. I'm currently using
  it as a table, but if someone wants it, I'd be glad to get rid of
  it. :)

* Token ring hardware -- lots of nice 3Com/Madge/Proteon cards and
  some MAU/CAU units.

* Some other stuff, maybe -- PS/2 Model 5x and 70 systems, Commodore
  64 equipment, etc.

In general, I've got a TON of stuff sitting around here that I'd really
like to get rid of. If there's no interest, most of it's going to go in
the trash in a couple of weeks here. If you might be interested in paying
me a visit (or having a proxy do so), please contact me and we can get
something worked out -- I hate throwing stuff away, but I really want the
space!

Thanks!

Sean

BTW -- I've also got a fully loaded, functional PDP-11/34a system in my
basement and a broken RX02 dual 8" floppy drive laying around. I'm not
really looking to get rid of it PER SE, but I do realize that I will
probably never do much with it. Therefore, if anyone might be interested
in making trades of interesting equipment (e.g. larger SGI systems, LISP
machines, strange Xerox computers, etc), please contact me as well, and
perhaps we can get something worked out!
