Large cache of classic computer in Umeå, Sweden

[Göran Axelsson]

Hi List!

I'm helping a friend to empty a storage which he has to have empty by 
the end of the month so time is short. This message is a mix between 
"look what I've got" and "Help, need a good home for this lot". I'm 
taking over a large part of this collection but I can only take care of 
the most precious computers.

The contents of the storage is a lot of personal stuff and other random 
objects, but he also collects old computers with focus on Norsk Data 
machines.
More or less of what we can see so far, this is the major parts...
- ND-5700, two full rack, one complete, one missing a CPU. I'll take 
care of this system.
- ND-Filestore, disks and tape. I'll take this one too
- ND-110 Compact, 4 machines. I'll save all and reserve one for my self.
- ND-110 Satellite, about 10 machines. I'll try to save all, reserving 
one or two myself.
- ND-Butterfly, 2-3 machines, all spoken for.
- A huge stash of manuals. Will be saved and scanned. A lot of doubles 
exists.
See the list at

- ND-Notis terminals. (Nokia VT220 terminals). Circa 80 terminals. Only 
a few are spoken for, anything left near the end of the month will go 
into the dumpster.  :-(

- NEC Monograph, new systems in boxes 4-6 systems, complete with 
graphics controller and all. For running DTP under Win 3.0/3.1, 
monochrome monitor Maybe two spoken for.

- A lot of Archie computer laptop parts, 286.
- ISA IDE controllers, new in box. approximately 30 cards.
- Some IBM system 3 manuals, RPG2
- ... plus a lot more that I can't remember right now.

We have found a number of other computers among all the scrap, some 
really nice ones. I liked the ABC 1600, an unix machine made by Luxor 
with a twistable screen with white phosphor. But those computers are 
going to remain in my friends custody.

If time permits we could send stuff by mail or in some other way. We 
might store some stuff if we know we could ship it off after the move 
but this month will take all our time just to clear space and move the 
bigger machines around.
Local pickup is preferred and will get priority over any shipping.

My phone number is int+46 (0)73 98 67 881.
