If they are original IBM systems, then I agree. If they are clones, I
usually salvage the drives, perhaps the I/O cards if they are exotic.
Otherwise I'd junk them, you'll drown in those systems otherwise. IBM PC
XT, AT, AT 386, PS/2, (probably PS/1?) and such machines. With keyboards and some
monitors.
Eh, I even have some Ultra60, Ultra80 and Ultra10 that nobody wants. And
I definitely don't want an Ultra1 for playing (we still have some in
service here, but they're not really fun). I'd prefer the older sun[1-3]
and sun4/sun4m. Small UltraSparc systems are really dirt common. You can
be happy if someone takes one for free. Don't expect any money.
I'll gladly put them into the scrap container. And remember that I'm interested in
Ultra 80 and a
450Mhz Ultra 60....
Agree.
Will keep those that don't smell too badly (there's a MASSIV problem with living
and - more recent -
dead rats...).
This is from the 1987 edition of Computer Review:
"Introduced in 1980, the Philips P4500 is an interactive business
computer system designed for small business distributed-processing
networks. The P4500 employs 'team processor' architecture, which
delegates functions usually performed by the CPU to dedicated
special-purpose processors. ANSI COBOL is the major programming language
under the DINOS 4000 operating system."
Then further on:
"Word size: 16 bits, Memory: 256 to 1024kB MOS, Memory Cycle Time: 563ns
[...]
Magnetic Tape: P3540: 1600bpi, 37ips
Line Printer: P2910/62/65:100-600lpm
Serial Printer: P2931:100cps;P2934:300cps
[...]
System Software: Real Time Monitor, Batch Monitor, Data Base Sys,
Operating System: DINOS 4000
[...]
Sold primarily in Western Europe"
I'd be curious what the CPU is.
Hm... Would be some work to find out. I didn't notice a microprocessor.

Well, usually nobody wants that, too common and no demand.
Ok, that was a local voice - I'll scrap all the network stuff.

across a box of Token Ring and Arcnet stuff.
Mostly NICs.
don't scrap * IBM PC AT and around
don't scrap that. and around what? * Sun Ultra 1 (or 5?) pizza boxes
no in any event. U5s are kinda sorta desirable as modern machines. You
can always give them to some kid or whatever (who wants to learn a

don't know what that is. you coulda told us. And you really should
make up your mind here.
