Re: PDP-11/20 in Iowa (x3)

I'm only a half hour from Boone. But, I can barely keep my 11/23 running, so I don't think I would be a good owner for these. I offered to help the poster if they want, as I don't want to see these scrapped either. On Mon, Mar 27, 2017 at 1:05 AM, Paul Birkel via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org>

Re: R: Sparc Laptops

I'd be interested as well if any are left. I sold a Sparcbook a while back that was missing the hard drive caddy. I just couldn't find a caddy and had a random buyer that wanted it for a museum. It did have it netbooting though, and they are fun machines! On Wed, May 9, 2018 at 8:15 AM, Bill
