Guys, just a heads up, had to "reboot" my whole flat - gas boiler lost
the plot, can't reach the Reset button as it's behind about 2 metric
tons of random crap. Long story short, licked off the electrical
circuit instead - managed to knock out the whole flat. Epic. Fail.

Anyway, the rest of my machines have come up except for RHESUS, I need
to get into my rack with a serial cable to get it up and am frankly
too hung over to deal with this right now :)

Sounds like the kind of day I had yesterday. The deserver 90TL through
which my entire vax/alpha/ia64 collection have their consoles routed
has
had an intermittent problem which I attributed to a dodgy power cable.
Yesterday I bit the bullet and replaced the cable only to have an epic
fail myself. Not even a power light. At least when I break decservers
they have the courtesy of giving me a power light. Anyway, my spare
decserver exhibits random and totally undesirable behaviour, so my
collection is effectively offline for the most part until I find a
replacement.

Anyone got a 90TL or 90M going spare?



I've got two 90L+ s and a 90M. I *think* they're spare. To be honest I'm
clearing out a lot of old computers (mostly but not all DEC) so if
anyone
wants them too I'll list them here ;-)

Hello!
**Elbows Sampsa.**
"What he said."
Same here.


Now now boys, no pushing :-)

Sorry, but Mark asked first about the servers. I just have to find some
packaging now.

Hello!
Then I'll accept any seconds.

What's left is:

HP 9000/C110 (4GB & 2GB disks internal) Linux/HPUX
DEC 3000/300 (2x 1GB disks, one internal, 1 external) DEC Unix/VMS
VAXstation 3100/95 (1gb disk external) VMS
Alpha pws433au (2 4GB disks) Linux/VMS
1 single speed caddy-loading CD reader - unknown marque
1 rrd42 single speed caddy-loading CD reader.
4 CD caddys
Lots of SCSI cables (including, I think, one of those funny-sized ones that only DEC ever used) and a video cable for the 3000/300

There's also a VAXstation 4000VLC, but I'm keeping that for sentimental reasons :-)

If you can drive to Leeds (UK!) and collect any of this then you're welcome - I will *not* post it. I've already had one offer but it's first come-first served.

*now* you can start pushing !
