Hi Cindy,
Any chance you could name a few make/models on the terminals?
Nothing exhaustive, just a representative sample would be nice.
Thanks!

... which is in great shape, except for a missing keycap (for the "J" key). Does anybody here have any spares that they'd be willing to part with?

I will concur that the pictures show only
a small fraction of what is there; I only took
pictures of things that interested me, and
therefore skipped the great majority of the
warehouse.
Feel free to cross-post to other lists if
you are on them and you think their members would
be interested; the objective is to move this
collection away from scrappers and toward
collectors wherever possible.

I did not discuss pricing with her. I think she's getting out
altogether, to focus on family.

I vote on-list, but non-local list members may vote otherwise;

I have a set of pictures from 2001. I'll try to find a place to post
those and report back here when done, but be aware they are more than
a decade obsolete.

The System 370 was an error. What they actually are is 5 legal-size paper
boxes of 8" floppies that were used by a company for backup on a System 36.
There are also "magazines" that hold 10 of these disks each. There does not
appear to be any original system software, just used disks, which are prob
of interest to someone who needs 8" floppies.
You are welcome to post anything anywhere you want, since I want these
things to go to a good home, instead of the scrap pile.

There were various packages specific to the Amstrad PCW that could make
use of the up to 2Mb it could take. There were task switchers like Network
(which allowed switching between multiple CP/M programs) and Flipper (which
allowed switching between multiple operating systems). The DTP package
MicroDesign used the memory to store the page it was working on. Then
there's my contributon: ZXZVM runs an Infocom Z-Code game, using the extra
memory to store the game file and the up to 64k of RAM that the virtual
machine requires.

The TI 1500 series UNIX machines that Isnagged off eBay a couple weeks
back finally arrived on my doorstep this morning. Floating in a sea of
packing peanuts in very battered boxes. *sigh*. I feared the worst but
they appear to have made it more or less in one piece. Only casualty
was one of the front plates (plastic) which looks like it'll be fine
after some supergluing. These things are built like tanks.
As the eBay listing specified, there are no hard drives. The pictures
on the auction made it look like there was a drive included in one of
the machines, but this was apparently removed before shipping. I was
kind of hoping there'd be a drive but oh well. At least it's got a
standard SCSI interface. Now to find some actual software for this
thing, I'm sure that'll be easy ;).
Other than that, the machines are completeand seem to be functioning
properly (see the end of this mail for some diagnostic output porn, if
you're into that sort of thing.)
The larger of the two (it's just slightly taller than the other) has no
model designation on the front (the shorter says "TI 1500 Computer", but
both of them are labeled as S1505s on the rear, with S1507 processors
and differing options installed. The taller POSTs as a 1507, the shorter
as a 1505. Dates on EPROMs are from the early 90s. (91 and 92).
The taller (1507) has a 68040 CPU (25Mhz), 64mb of RAM (30-pin 4mb
simms, parity), a Communications co-processor, ethernet, and a couple of
other communications adapters(a "Multidrop\V.35 and some misc "Comm
Carrier" boards). Looks like the 68040 is an upgrade of sorts (looks to
be official) -- the two machines have the same motherboard, but the
68040 is on a daughterboard that plugs into the 68030 socket.
The shorter (1505) has a 68030 (25Mhz) with 68882and only8mb of RAM
(30-pin 1mb simms, parity). Aside from a"Comm Carrier" board it also has
an 8-channel async serial boardwith 8 MMJ connectors on the rear.
Near the bottom on the rear there is a pair of ports (DB-25 and MMJ)
labeled "DIAG PORT." I connected a standard DEC MMJ to it and at 9600N7
I get diagnostic output(see below).
Other interesting things of note: There are a lot of 68K-series
processors in these machines. Aside fromthe main 68040 CPU, there are
two 68000 CPUs on the motherboard, one for COMM I/O, the other for SCSI
(they're neatly labeled). The Communications coprocessor board contains
an additional 68010.
Diags indicate that the boards are Nubus, though they don't use the
standard connector I'm familiar with. Looks more like PCI/microchannel.
That's all for now. I've taken some pictures which I'll post later. If
anyone wants more details, let me know. And if anyone knows where to
find OS tapes for thisthing, I'm all ears.
Thanks,
Josh

I enquired by email about the System 370 software and documentation.
I was told first that some of the boxes actually said "System 36" on them.
I was then told that The "software" seems to consist of large qty of 8" floppy
disks that someone used for backups and that there are also "magazines" that
hold maybe 10 of the 8" diskettes each and that there does not seem to be any
original operating software or programs.
I was also told that there are 2 boxes, abt 20 pounds, that contains full
operating manuals and possibly the software for AT&T 3B2 system.
It doesn't sound likely to me that there is any 370 material there.
(I'm not complaining, I'm just passing on what I was told for the information
of others who might be interested.)
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
The IBM System 370 software is an error. There are a hundred or more 8"
floppy diskettes, some in "magazines" that were used as backups on a System
36. Occupies about 5 legal-size paper boxes. There does not appear to be
any original software.
AT&T 3B2 software and documentation, 2 legal size paper boxes, much of the
documentation is still sealed. Sorry, I do not have any more of the 3B2
machines.
Large qty of 360K and 1.2MB floppy drives, and 360kb new blank diskettes in
10-packs.
TI 99/4A, 1 still in original box, several out of box, extra AC adapters,
small amt of software.
Commodore 64, 1 still in box, several out of box, couple of disk drives,
etc. Bring software to test.
LOTS of color and mono 9-pin monitors, a few still new in box.
LOTS of dumb terminals, some kbds.
A few Atari game systems, extra AC adapters, etc. Bring games to test.
ISA and PCI cards, thousands of them, plus "newer" AGP video cards.
Several boxes of CPU chips, from 80386 and 80387 thru P4.
Motherboards, new and used, from 386 to Quad core P4.
Thousands of cables, etc.
Over 10,000 square feet to look through, I look forward to seeing you!
Email inquiries welcome.
