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.

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 :)
