Is that a BBC microcomputer you're referring to? I can give that a home -- probably just to live in a cupboard, but I'd hate to see it go to e-waste. I'll take a 56k modem as well (I have one, but it's kinda useless on its own). If you have any spare switch/routers I'll grab one of those. I'm also trying to work out whether to fork out $$$ for a Model M keyboard or get a mechanical keyboard one day. If anyone has one in working order that is surplus to requirements, I'll consider making an offer. I don't want to put you to enormous amounts of trouble though. Where are you located? If you work in the CBD I could easily do a lunchtime pickup, or maybe we could do a LUV meeting. On 26 August 2015 at 14:23, Anthony Hogan <anthony-luv@hogan.id.au> wrote:
Hey folks,
Is anyone in need of more 'vintage' computer gear?
There's a stack of stuff I've got: * BBC + assorted parts * 386 and up motherboards * 486 and up CPUs * Assorted RAM (FP/EDO and up) * 2x APC rack mount 700VA UPSs * Pentium, PPro, P3, P4, Cel D etc. and up computers (one even has a Video Blaster SE100 in it, with the cables) * Many assorted IO cards (ISA, VLB) * Labtam X term (might even be able to rustle up an AUI adapter for it) * Assorted tower cases (AT, ATX) * 2x Wyse60 serial terminals * Multiple 10/100 switches (a couple may be managed) of varying sizes (16-24 port I think) * Multiple WiFi routers with and without modems, one 3G * Cisco SHDSL modem (dumpster dive) * 3Com business routers (another dumpster dive) * HP DL380 (G3 I think) * IBM xSeries 336 * DLT IV (I think ... VS80?) drive * Assorted 33.6 and 56K modems * Parallel port scanner (UMAX Astra 600) * Assorted CRT displays * Assorted 3.5" and 5.25" drives
I'm thinking a trip to local eWaste collection point might be in order, but before turfing stuff, like to see if it'll get another go.
A lot of it's in the "I never got around to using it", or "I haven't used it in ages" category :) _______________________________________________ luv-talk mailing list luv-talk@luv.asn.au http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-talk
