Cleaning my closet

Hello, all:

        I'm doing some spring cleaning (six months late) and I'm offering
this stuff up to the list first. Items are as-is and last status, if
remembered, is listed. I know that a few are pretty common, but I feel bad
about just pitching them into the dumpster without at least offering them up
first. I may ultimately resort to selling some on eBay if no one wants them.

        Some items are heavy and would need a local pickup. My location is
Nassau County, New York (Long Island).

        Here's the list:

        * MacPortable (non-backlit). Working when last used, with spare
batteries, desktop charger and carrying case. Screen has a line of bad
pixels near the bottom.

        * PC/Convertible. Working although battery is shot. I believe that I
have boot disks for this, too.

        * PC Portable. Working; very clean. Very heavy (really a PC with a
handle). Comes with some software but I haven't taken a complete inventory.
Might be shippable by UPS.

        * DEC MicroVAX 1 in tower case with spare parts (including RD52
drives and spare boards). Working last time I used it 3 years ago. Has
Ultrix v.4 on it (no distribution disks unfortunately). Very heavy. Pickup
only.

        * 3 Pentium Pro 200 MHZ/256k CPUs. Unmatched steppings (SL22V,
SL22T, SL22M). When using in an SMP configuration, steppings should be the
same. I ran into this when setting-up the dual-CPU ProLiant server at home.

        * Apple Ethernet CS card (part number M3065Z/A) for late-model Macs.

        * Promise Technologies EIDE4030T caching IDE card for VL bus. As I
recall, this was the "bee's knees" of IDE cards in the 486 era.

        * Spare Kilobaud magazines: 12/78, 1/79

        * Spare BYTE magazines: 12/77, 1/78, 1/81, 6/81, 7/81, 11/81, 12/81,
1/82,
           10/83, 9/85, 10/85 (2), 2/86, 6/86, 10/86, 11/86, 9/87, 10/87

        Payment? Trade or cost of shipping. Here's what I'm looking for:

        * S-100 video board with docs/SW.
        * Ciarcia SB180 single-board computer.
        * Altair documents/manuals for my Altair32 emulation project
           (reminder,
http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/~rcini/classiccmp/Altair32.htm)
        * Broken arcade game in upright cabinet with monitor (horizontal
configuration;
           for MAME project). Will have to work something out on the
shipping due to its
           size and weight. This one probably best if local.
        * Plastic case for the KIM-1
        * 6502 pod for Fluke 9010A troubleshooter
        * 6502-related magazines
        * Other??

        Please contact me off-list at xyzzy_r_cini_at_nospam.optonline.net
(remove xyzzy, underscores and nospam.) if anyone's interested.

        Thanks.
