Re: Equipment Available, DEC

[Ulrich Tagge]

Hi Jay,

You should have received my mail.
The distance from me to Switzerland is not to high, and I'm quite often 
there, so maybe I can pick-up them, and extend my collection.


Many Greetings
Ulrich

 Shaun, thanks for responding although I think I'll pass in this particular

 I didn't hold anyone up.

Hi Shaun,

Can you estimate weight on the SHD1Z-ZZ? That's all DEC RZ26 drives in
there? I can't seem to find a picture so I'm not clear on dimensions or
weight ... Someone already claim it?

Thanks,

Sean

 Still cleaning the shop, trying to be out by the end of the week-ish.  We
 have the following
 equipment available:

 TU-80 family tape drive, in frame.  Works, passes diagnostics.  Make
 offer.  Photos:
 http://microfilmks.com/LMSI/

 Unknown power supply module.  Has NCR part numbers but google gives no
 love.  +5 (x2), -5, +12, -12.
  Make offer.  Photos: http://microfilmks.com/Ebay/UnknownPSU1.jpg and
 UnknownPSU2.jpg

 Discom electron tube, PN 123788-2.  These came out of COM microfiche
 cameras, and have a blue
 display.  Not sure how to go about shipping them securely, but if you're
 interested, we can figure
 it out.  I have several of these.

 DEC SHD1Z-ZZ SCSI drive cabinet, tower configuration.  Has SCSI-2
 personality module, power supply,
 SCSI terminator and cable, 6 drive trays for 50-pin drives.  Also has 4
 spare drive trays and one
 spare power supply.  Includes 6 1.2G SCSI drives, or if you prefer, I can
 remove them to lower the
 shipping weight.  Asking $50 obo.

   All shipping is from Wichita, Ks, 67213

YEAH!  I HAD one, salvaged from a Digi-Data drive.  It 
actually WORKED on the Keystone one time, then developed a 
power-on self test failure!  Darn!  I sent it off to 
somebody on the list, no idea if they were able to fix it.

Hmm, possibly from a Tower machine. Mine had power input (duh!), fuse, 
power control jack and standby switch on the back too, albeit in a 
different order. It was a lengthy beast, probably about 18 or so. DC 
outputs were at the top-front, and on mine the fan actually sat at the 
front of the PSU, not at the rear like yours.


cheers

 Hmm, that's a CDC / Laser Magnetic Storage 92185 drive, right? Looks like it

 the SCSI interface (or just the SCSI interface board to plug into a generic 
 92185).

  Correct.  That's an LMSI drive.  Not much help in the way of markings other 
than LMSI and
Keystone. It has the 2-cable Pertec interface.

 (I have 2 working 92185s with the Pertec interface, and I kludged-up a board 
 that will read my
 archival tapes, but it would be nice to have one that makes a more direct 
 connection.)

  I really wish I had a Pertec to SCSI bridge.  It would have made these drives 
far more useful over
the years.

Depending where in North Jersey, I can assist in loading/packing if anyone 
needs help. I have no interest in HP stuff other than idle curiosity.

I'm so sorry, forgot to include that. I'm waiting on a phone call back from the 
owner, but from what I can tell I suspect the equipment location is Northern 
New Jersey.

 Yep, and that's why you missed the deal ;) Someone responded privately

Hi Jay,

I'm desperate for H960s and need a tape drive anyway. I'll pay to have it
professionally moved.

Thanks, Paul
