Went to the U of M property office for my bi-weekly Classic Computing
collecting endeavour.
Picked up a few wierd video and SCSI cables, and an Intel ProShare video
conferencing system (Cool camera!) Also an HP 900/something terminal and
Centris 650 for parts (Had a cool NI ADC board, too) They had a CDC 9-disc
array, looks to be
eighties vintage, in a beautiful blue steel-and-aluminum rack. Also had the
matching disk pack drive, standard 19" width and REALLY deep. They had some
wierd Kodak computer, looked like a Sun pedestal and might have been an
OEMed Sun 3 or 4. An HP 16-Track reel-to-reel data recorder for $50, a
steal, as it seemed to work fine except for a few burned-out bulbs on the
light-up buttons. They still have the big RS/6000 disc arrays and tape
backup units, if anyone has a few thou to blow and a semi to pick them up
with. Good luck hunting!
