Steven; So glad it was a productive trip. While some of that gear was obviously pretty severely damaged... the Fox 2 would have been worth the trip for me anyways :) A return trip should be scheduled by you or the folks you were in contact/working with, for the boxes of documentation and for

Recovery adventure - Re: Unidentified DEC gear available, NSW-AU

Well, it started with 'Unidentified DEC gear available, NSW-AU'... A few weeks ago you saw some poor quality photos Jay posted from someone who had found a PDP-11 of some sort. It seems no-one could identify it or the ancillary equipment at the time. As it happened to be located here in Oz

Re: Unidentified DEC gear available, NSW-AU

I recognized a few things when you posted the pics, bet can't remember what they are. I will look at some reference material this week. I do know they aren't DEC racks. Should be great! Paul On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 2:11 PM, Jay West wrote: > DEC Gear available. Unlike

RE: Unidentified DEC gear available, NSW-AU

Very surprised no one took any guesses at what PDP-11 boxes were in those pictures. But in any case, a listmember has stepped forward to go investigate onsite and perhaps claim them. J

I'm in NZ and would definitely take an interest; one pic showed cables that somewhat resemble RP02 type...? Mike On Jan 29, 2016 9:11 AM, "Jay West" wrote: > DEC Gear available. Unlike most dec gear, I must admit that I can't > identify > exactly what this is. Several

Unidentified DEC gear available, NSW-AU

DEC Gear available. Unlike most dec gear, I must admit that I can't identify exactly what this is. Several racks, I was guessing AFT or Instrumentation Testing. Looks like one or more cpu or expansion cabinets in some of the racks, and some DEC AD/DA interface stuff. I was left with the impression
