List newbie

Hi,

I just found this list. Very cool.

I mostly have early 90s stuff in my collection. A NeXT slab, a bunch of
Sun lunch box machines, stuff like that.

However, I also have a VAX-11/750 that used to belong to a university in
Oregon. It came with the UNIBUS expansion cabinet, a TU80 tape drive, a
SA482 rack, three RA81 and two RA82s, bunches of spare boards, loads of
field service and other docs and a bunch of the cartridge tapes.

When I get around to trying to bring it back up, I will just keep the
base cabinet and the TU80 and the RA82s (one operational and one spare).
 I may keep the SA482 in case I get some interesting equipment that
needs a rack. I presume that I can pull the expansion cabinet off of
the base cabinet and attach the TU80 in its place. If so, if anyone
needs a UNIBUS expansion cabinet ... I dismantled one of the RA81 drive
enclosures. If anyone needs a RA81, I have two and a half. I also have
a RX02 (two 8" floppy drives) that I want to get rid of.

One thing that I am looking for is a drive bay front panel for a RA82.
I have one for an RA81.

Another thing that I am looking for is a Burroughs B1965. I worked at
Burroughs/Unisys during the end of life of the B1900s and think they are
cool machines.

Later,

alan
