Hiya. This took a while, because I had to do quite a bit of digging,
and I'm still not done.
- But I have a Sparc 1 audio dongle still in the original plastic bag --
plus a few other ones that have actually been used a bit. I thought
that it was somewhere in the bottom of the pile, and I was right.
(Imagine that!)
- I also have a big pile of various SCSI cables that needs a home: these
are ones that I used with my Sparc 2 and various external devices, and
they're a mix of micro-SCSI (like the connector on the back of the Sparc),
DB-50, and Centronics-style. There's at least:
3 DB-50 to Centronics, ~4 ft
4 DB-50 to DB-50, 2-3 ft
2 DB-50 to DB-50, 1 ft
2 DB-50 terminators
2 DB-50 to Sun micro-SCSI connectors, 3 ft
1 bizarre IBM double Centronics...you tell me, it's in the box
plus: about 4 more Centronics-style cables I found yesterday
- I have an SBus expansion box. It's a pizza-box the same size and shape
as a Sparc 1/2, but designed to let me you plug in more cards. But: I
don't have the connector/card for it. I have seen those offered around
the 'net from time to time, but not for a while.
- I have a Sun 911 enclosure. This is about twice the height of a 411,
and it's designed to hold 4 SCSI disks. Caveat: while removing the disks
from it ('cause I was still using it) I noticed one loose wire on the big
harness that connects everything. I don't know if it was (a) always loose
and thus not a source of any problems or (b) I knocked it loose while
pulling the disks. I'm just not inclined to mess with it.
- I have a couple of AUI-to-10BaseT transceivers with attached cables:
one end plugs into the AUI Ethernet port on a Sparc 1/2, the other end
(about 10 feet or so) has a 10baseT plug. Handy, but I don't need them
any more.
Cost for any of this? Make me an offer that's at least enough to cover
shipping. ;-) Really. If you can use it, and I can get it out of here
without losing money on the deal, it's yours. (I'm going to be moving
soon, so the less stuff I have to pack...)
There's other stuff as well but I haven't made a real list yet: old
SunOS distributions (at least three of the SunOS 4.1.3/4.1.4 era),
Solaris distributions (2.5, 2.5.1, 2.6., 2.7, and a still-stealed 2.8),
and so on. I'm making a list now and will send that too.
