Technically, anything up to 5.1L should run on a 320H. 2GB of disk is
plenty ;)
With 32MB 5.1 is probably a bit of a stretch, but 4.2.1 or 4.3.3 should run
fine, and it's easier to get modern-ish things to compile than on 3.x.
PM me if you need help finding media.

I've got a NeXTstation Turbo and a MegaPixel display; the computer boots
fine, but seems to complain of a failing hard drive.
The monitor works okay; slight burn in, but otherwise looks okay in terms

The problem with trying to get these any cheaper is that the gold value, by
the pound, exceeds what I think an untested card should go for. They want to
charge me $7-10 PER CARD, and that is untested. Then I have to pay shipping,
and labor to get them tested. Sorry if this seems unreasonable to
$7-10 to sort out and carefully handle (vs usual strip for gold recovery),
seems pretty reasonable to me. I'd expect the cost has more to do with
labor than gold being recovered.

That, or they might actually understand how the scrap industry works.

Yes, probably half of the asking price is the metal, the rest is
labor, shipping and handling, and just a plain
you know whats in
stock. Idea is to catch the good cards before they end up in the barrel.
Even still ive had about 50/50 luck with getting stuff to work once its out
there.

I use a DEC DECConnect system on mine... I have a DB25 to MMJ on the RS/6000
side, and a DB9 to MMJ on the other. Plus you can swap out the MMJ adapters on
either end of the cable to talk to whatever you need. I highly recommend them
because they do the right thing 99.9% of the time.

Replace some with all and you have it. TV programs like these are fully
scripted months in advance.

Does anyone have the stand for an HP-Apollo 9000/400t series, or specs for it
(particularly the screws used to attach it to the main unit)? I haven’t seen
screw specifications in the online reference material I’ve found, so it’ll be
hard to make my own stand.
Also, does anyone have a part
I have some 1771 parts here somewhere. I'll try to look this weekend.
Thanks, Paul

I hadn't started this DEC Alpha 3000-300 since last summer, and booted
it up so I could load the new PAK's the other day.
The result was that it completes almost the entire OpenVMS startup, but
then crashes with the following:
%SET-I-INTSET, login interactive limit = 64, current interactive
Thanks.
The video does cut out before my “creator” credit, but friends in Canada took a
screen shot of it for me since it’s one of the last credits.

I am interested in old programmable controllers. I would like to put
together a Allen-Bradley PLC-2/30 controller with at least one 1771 IO

ebay has some thing for a price, but if anyone has this type of hardware I
would be interested.

Many of the 8-bit ones go for quite a bit more. There was an SB 1.5 that
went for $200 recently, and a Game Blaster went for $400! Once you go past
the SB Pro the prices drop a lot, SB 16s (especially the Vibras) are dirt
cheap. I think people have a fascination for the old Creative CMS chips

I think changing the bus would alter things enough to be a problem. Can
games expecting an 8 / 16 bit ISA SoundBlaster work with a PCI

Having watched two episodes, I find that their estimates of profit on the items
are not unreasonable - they tend to go with 'doubling our cost'... no insane,
'Oooh, that's worth megabucks'.
Not being a big toy aficionado, I'm not sure about the demand for some of the

Yes.
Please pick them up and start (re)selling them at a reasonable price.
My recycler in Chicago will hunt some down for me. Tested and working, they
will be about $25 each. Sound reasonable? May have slight cosmetic defects
due to coming from recycler, bit I will test all the functions. I knew there
must be some reason I saved all those old floppies!
