[DECtec] [HECnet] Fwd: [rescue] VAX 6000s and HSC controllers available in Winnipeg

by mcguire＠neurotica.com

I am very sad. I have the space, I have the power, I have the 6000-fu to wrangle these machines (I used to run a few), I have tons of spare boards, and I have the desire...but there's no way I can afford to make a truck trip to Winnipeg. -Dave On 05/07/2013 01:43 PM, Mark Benson wrote: Just forwarding from the rescue list for those that aren't members: Begin forwarded message: From: <cbajus at mts.net> Subject: [rescue] VAX 6000s and HSC controllers available in Winnipeg Date: 7 May 2013 16:59:26 GMT+01:00 To: "rescue at sunhelp.org" <rescue at sunhelp.org> Reply-To: The Rescue List <rescue at sunhelp.org> Any hardcore DEC collectors out there? $work is finally getting rid of a few rows of classic DEC gear from our datacentre, which includes 3 VAX 6000s (310, 420, and 610) and a number of HSC controllers (40, 50, and two 95s). I'm absolutely _not_ offering to ship any of these items, but they're available for pickup in Winnipeg (Canada) if anyone is interested. Thanks, Cory. _______________________________________________ rescue list - http://www.sunhelp.org/mailman/listinfo/rescue -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA -- DECtec mailing list http://dectec.info To unsubscribe from this list see page at: http://dectec.info/mailman/listinfo/dectec_dectec.info

Johnny Will try to connect to it via ethernet.. I can see it trying to boot repeatedly now again. You must have some kind of problem with your network. It's unusual for a MOP boot to fail, but with you it seems more like luck if it ever succeeds. Either your DS is connected to some switch that tries to play full duplex or something similar, or your transciever is broken, or configured wrong, or else your general cabling is bad. Johnny

Any idea how to reset it to it's factory settings? Didn't I just answer that one? Just hold the button while applying power. Johnny Did that - LED gets stuck on 4 until I release it, then goes to 2. Nothing printed on port 1. I think it might be dead. I'll take it then! -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments

My DS200/MC has just bit the dust it seems. Send the DS200 my way. I like fixing those. Every time I've had a problem with any of these, it has been the power supply. Got any hints on what breaks? In the case of mine the fans failed which resulted in rubber around inductors melting and having other components fail due to the heat. Seems like similar has happened to people around the internet. http://osx.dev.gimme-sympathy.org/users/b4/weblog/6b8a6/images/0e170.JPG#32… I actually have ones with no fans... Hopefully not with the original PSU? ;) No, it's original. I have at least three of them (without fans). However, I think the last one gave up last year. I'm now running with with fans... Interesting! I wonder how long mine ran without fans then. Note that they actually are original *without* fans. As in "there have never been any fans installed in the boxes". Made that way by DEC. Maybe DEC eventually started putting fans in because of issues with the PSU... :-) Ahhh! Perhaps! :) Johnny -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Experiments
