  • Tom's Big Pile 'O DEC hardware looking for a new home

    From tccrabz@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 24 12:53:34 2018
    Tom's Big Pile 'O DEC:

    Multias (2 or 3 plus some parts, including one of those impossible to find vertical stands with unbroken tabs)
    VAXen 3100 (3 maybe 4)
    DEC 3000 series alphas (3 maybe 4, at least 3 300's and at least one 600/700) External boxes of various types, BA355 etc.
    Couple of tape drives, big pile of 4gb SCSI SCA HD's
    Big Box of DEC specific cables.
    Big box of CAT2 network cable, crimp tools, ends, terminations, etc.

    I'm in Folsom CA, 95630.

    Local Pickup a Must.

    I have no desire to box and ship all this stuff, it's too heavy and the shipping would cost way too much.

    Hi Tom,

    I would be interested in the box of DEC cables if you know anyone will to ship then here. I'd be happy to pay S/H.

    Thanks, Paul

    Paul:
    There's probably 30 or 40 pounds of cables, the shipping would be stupid expensive.

    All the VAXes have graphics as well as the 3000 series Alphas.

    Yes, everything has "graphics"; every workstation ships with a dumb
    frame buffer at least.

    Do they have 3D graphics accelerators?

    Pretty sure all the VAXes have SPX graphics, the 3000-300 series Alphas have built in frame buffers and the 3000-700 has a PMAGB-B frame buffer.
    Any of these 3D?
    Dunno.
