Anyone know much about early MIPS workstations? I'm trying to get a
MIPS RS2030 to boot, without much luck so far. It goes through the
selftest but stops with the internal LED display at "5" accompanied by a
continuous beep.

Got old PDP junk left?
Like what kinda junk?
PDP 8 or 11?
Hmm, got PDP 8 boards and BA11 boxes. PDP11 makes no sense, it is a series,
11/70 or what?
I know NOTHING about this stuff. I told him slide in boxes with flippy
switches. He laughed and said he
It is rarely PRACTICAL to repair a dead drive.
If it has important data on it, then repairing or swapping the board is
sometimes done. It is extremely rare that there would be a need

But, often, drives are identified as being dead or defective,

I'd love to help
I have the opportunity to purchase some old 50-pin SCSI, ESDI, MFM, RLL etc.
drives.
There is no way to test them, and there are no refunds.
There are no dents or obvious signs of damage, but that means noting.
Is there any way to resurrect these if they are dead/defective?
Any interest?

I plan to go to Dallas next week for a quick run.
Things I know are there:
IBM XT and AT computers with kbds, no monitors. (3 pallets last I checked)
CASES of NIB 360K internal floppy drives (not diskettes) for the original
IBM PC
Some hdd for the original PCs, new and used
Defective IBM

Put up some pics. The electronics weren't at all what I was expecting
http://bitsavers.org/pdf/wilsonLabs/WBC-3000
it has a 1.2gb SCSI drive inside.
I have some pics of them, but I no longer have them. Have not seen any in
years.

Some you might want, since they go to Link terminals.
