some stuff i want to get rid of, and some stuff i want

[kyle-14]

Stuff I want to get rid of:

I have a few SGI Origin 200's(I think I have 3 that are working).
Minus the skins. All have CD drives.

I also have two of the XIO GIGAchannel units that you can connect to
the origins. Presently, one has a modified SI xio card so you can run
one of the origin 200s with graphics. I also have some scsi and
serial/net cards in each. I also have another SI xio card which I
havent gotten around to modifying yet. I also might have some TRAM for
the SI's.

And lastly, I have an OriginVault. (I have a few, but only one is
freed up, and Im not going to get around to free up the others any
time soon).

I have cables for everything, and Ill throw in a drive & sled for each
server, and Ill throw in a few drives and sleds for the vault.

Make an offer/trade and they are yours. Local pickup in NNJ(about
15min from NYC).

I am looking for:

HPUX
BSDi BSD/OS sparc
LTO2 barcode lables

Email me offlist, thanks.

Another thing I forgot to mention, if you have card stock, I have a web
app that you can use to make these:

Very useful.  Thanks!

Are the LTO labels formatted to fit an Avery label type?

I don't honestly remember; it's been nearly five years since I tweaked
around on the PostScript behind that.  However, I doubt it.  It'd be fun
to revisit that code someday and expand it to support a bunch of different
tape types (and conform to some standard sheet of labels instead of
expecting the user to snip the results out from card stock).

Maybe I'll get a spare weekend sometime in the next thirty years. :/

There's always (aerosol) spray adhesive, which I find fun to use by
itself. :)

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped. I have a few more items:

I dug up a Dec Multia. Tonight was the first time it was booted since
around 1999/2000(it used to be a radius server for ppp dial-ins). I'm
not getting anything to display, so maybe someone can fix this or use
parts from it. Maybe it's just the battery? It was working when it was
decommissioned. I'm lazy, so free & local pickup only(NYC metro area
or Boston metro area, depending part of the week).

I also have a sparc5 and a SunScreen(basically a sparc5). I only have
one 32meg DIMM between them :) The SunScreen works, and I also have
the SunScreen CD(the SunScreen would boot the OS from the CD), and it
comes with an internal CD drive. The SS5 I was having some issue
tonight trying to install anything on it. It wouldnt boot off of any
media(CD or HD).  Again, free & local pickup only.

I posted this in the past, but people never followed through. A
sparcserver 1000(or 1000e? I forget). It has a few boards(I think 6
cpus are installed, but only 5 show up). Comes with memory, drives,
tape drive, Solaris installed, etc. Heavy, free & local pickup.

I have a large quantity of 36gig fibre channel drives. Make an offer
on one or all(100+). Ill ship these. These all work and were recently
decommissioned.

I am looking for:

BSDi bsd/os intel and sparc
Novell UnixWare (not SCO; I want to play with the old stuff)
OpenVMS*
sparc20's (parts are ok too, as in mobo/power, but not mbus/sbus modules)
Sun GDM-20 monitors(the older ones; but you would need to be within
driving distance for me).
Onyx2 or Origin2K within a afternoons drive of NYC. I have a bunch of
boards and IOG6s, so a parts unit is ok.

And, this is a weird request, Im looking for the redhat linux 4.2
boxset from around 1997 or so that you would normally have found in
bookstores. It's a nostalgia thing(Im looking for the book and CD, but
just the book is fine). A 4.1 or 4.0 set would be ok, too(Ijust
remember buying the 4.2 myself).

*I signed up for the openvms hobbyist license(Im told it still works,
just that it takes a very long time). Im just getting tired of waiting
:) I have a alphastation 200 4/233 that when I purchased had NT on it,
and want to get openvms going on it.


Email me offlist, please.

Sync on green is required, iirc...

The battery is a known achillies heel for these boxes as well (a $20  
part last time I looked)...

I have a Multia, and I think that it works with most PC standard monitors. I
have found a sequence of events that leads to no video, though:

System flashed with the OpenVMS capable SRM
Battery dies ->

no video.

I haven't exhaustively tested fixes, but what I wound up having to do is:

Flash the standard Multia SRM
Put in a new battery (this can be done as step 1)
Re-flash the OpenVMS SRM.

Replacing the battery alone didn't seem to cut it.
