Good idea, Rob. Thanks! I would be interested in one or two of the Ultrix tapes if they are MIPS/DECstation. Rob Jarratt writes: > Aaron/Anders, > > Aaron lives relatively close to me, my parents live in the same city. So if > there is anything that Aaron wants that is still available then

I would love an LK421, although I guess it is taken now. Although shipping to the UK would be horrific using FedEx. Anders Nelson via cctalk writes: > It's an lk421 -- Aaron Jackson PhD Student, Computer Vision Laboratory, Uni of Nottingham http://aaronsplace.co.uk/

Spring cleaning time! I have three vintage HP 9836 computers, two monochrome monitors, one color monitor and three printers. I'm sure they are going to need work to get running. No testing has been done. Could probably get two out of the three working. Somewhere I have a few various I/O cards
