Robert,

I thought you might know some folks who might be interested in some of
the following.  If so, feel free to pass it one.

Subject: Old, but not really vintage computer hardware

I must clean out some of my equipment and I'm game to pass it on free
any vintage computer people, or anyone who might
actually put the items to use somehow instead of the scrap heap.

I have a number of old PC cases, some with PC's in them, Sun
Microsystems equipment, and a plethora of cables and wires.

The PC's I'm not going to inventory unless there's interest, the
latest are Pentium, but have some earlier ones, also a few laptops
with docking stations.  I do not think I have an AT or prior model,
but I might have one lurking somewhere.  (I know I had an XT but I'm
pretty sure I left that running in a data center downtown SJ 10 years
ago).

The Sun systems, I'm pretty sure are all SPARC, ranging from XPC,
SparcStation-1 and -2, some -5's, -10, and -20's.  I also have a few
Ultra-10's and  Sun 21" CRT monitors used, barely used, and several of
each brand-new still in the unopened boxes.  A couple of the SS-20s
are configured as Tymnet nodes (not too useful except as a novelty,
since the network is no longer viable).   Some hard drives with
carriers, and a few other peripherals.

A number of SCSI and other (not sure what at this point) interface
cards for SUN.

Some Tymnet Engine consoles and parts (several models) which the CHM
was not interested in when I asked a few years ago,

A few telco components, boards from a keyset system, miscellaneous 5/6
line phones, some handsets, most worked at one time.

And, as mentioned above, lots of cables for RS-232, x.25, weird
crossovers and adapters, a bunch of connectors, a couple of 25-pair
cat-3(?) cables with connectors... lots of cables.

There's a bunch of other items, video components for older security
systems, some junk and who knows what else.

A number of Macintosh vintage MacPlus thru PM-8600 systems, drives,
monitors (13" RGB, Radius Page w/Rotate, others), LaserWriterII
(several models), Apple Scanner (black & white, color) and a host of
other things like PhoneNet and AppleTalk network items.  (Some of
these I will be keeping for myself, but I am willing to part with some
of them -- I don't need to keep 3 Mac SE or IIci systems)  And CABLES!
 (those things you cannot buy anymore)

A portion of these items are in my garage, my attic, and my 10x10
storage unit.  I must clear out my storage unit, which is "PACKED"
wall to wall with this stuff and books.  I also have some old listings
of PDP-10 programs some from the TOPS-10 era, and a smaller number
from TYMCOM-X.

I'm in and out and will be the rest of the month until I manage to get
everything out of the storage unit.  I'm currently under-employed and
looking for another opportunity, so I've got a little time between job
hunting to get this done in the next 20 days.

You are welcome to pass this on to any friends who may
be interested.

The items I've listed are things I know to be in the garage or storage
unit.  There ae likely to be other gems I've forgotten about.

I may deliver some items locally if someone speaks up as it is being
moved out of storage.  However, first dibs is great for anyone who
comes to take it away from storage (so I don't have to transport it home
and figure out where to cram it).

Dibs may also be granted on Items I might want to keep but
if someone really wants it and they want to help move it, it will
likely end up in their possession.

There are other things also free for the taking, to clear out space,
but not sure if relevant to any vintage computer types.

Some of the stuff MAY, if I ever have time, make it to eBay, but
anything I do not want to preserve for my own museum (meaning it has
to fit in my garage or attic after emptying the storage unit), will
most likely  end up at the electronic recyclers if there
are no takers or scavengers showing interest.
