[Milsurplus] RS-6 ID thot

[patrick jankowiak]

As best I recall, my computer collection includes but is not limited
to:

Three pdp-8I
Three pdp-8E
Berkeley Storage Systems DiskRam
pdp-11/03
two pdp-11/05
pdp-11/23
pdp-11/73
four VAX 11/780's
VAX 6530
Two VAX 6510
Two VAX 6410
uncounted vaxstation 3100-30's
six microvax 3100-80
vaxstation 4000-60
vaxstation 4000-90
three DEC rainbow (one dual boot cpm/dos)
GIGI terminal
DEC pro 380 desk system
National semiconductor IMP16
Data General Nova 1200
VAX 11/751 
  (ex-military-owned 11/751 flown in KC135)
  (milsurplus content)
Tektronix 4019 terminal (worth mentioning)
three DEC 3000-500 Alphas
IMSAI 8080 with 8086 optios and extra cards..
DECstation 4000
DECstation 3000
two MIPS workstations
numerous apple I and II
two Kaypros
mint compaq deskpro 286
numerous compaq luggables (XT)
mint IBM PC
Mint clone 286 with printer
T.I. luggable with built in color EGA
numerous terminals, teletypes, DSI, SDDI, and CI-type storage
subsystems incl for complete working systems. DECtapes, paper tapes,
DEC handbooks, manuals, 9-track, playskool computer, oddball portable
DOS based PC's with bastardized floppy formats, a GEO, various early
calculators and other doodads, some one-off, UNIVAC prototype plasma
graphics display, too much more to list. All stored in climate
controlled bulding.

Want to build a real working vintage datacenter with the most amazing
and unusual systems? Including also the computer coffee mug
collection, trade show kotchkeys, and every cable, CRT, software,
paper tape and 9-track tape, RL02 diskpacks, MFM disk, DEC letterhead,
etc.. Everything computer-related. Lots more I can't remember on
shelves stacked to ceiling. Fills a 30x40 steel building nicely.

Bring two semi trailers and your day labor. I think I can find you a
raised floor to throw in the deal as well. Do not bring your wife or
children (just threw that in for Dennis Starks!) E-mail for
appointment. Act now, and we won't INIT the 11/751's HDAs.

First $100K takes all, or trade for good running caddilac V-100, LAV,
or equivalent turretless (commanders'/commo) wheeled armor.

It should be noted that there is a group of guys, numbering at least
several 
hundred by now, that collect and fool around with mini and mainframe 
computer systems. A few of us fools even play with both BAs *and*
mainframes.

I want a SAGE console...and a noodle picker...
