I know this isn't strictly Linux related, but surely there are a few
people interested in computer junk on this list. I've been doing some
late-Spring cleaning and everything must go! All items are free unless
specified (ignore any prices marked on items in the photos). If you
are interested in something please contact me off-list. Feel free to
forward this to anyone or group you think might have some interest.

1) HP 75 (Merlin?) hand-held computing device with integrated mag-
stripe reader+writer. I aqcuired this about 12 years ago, sadly it
does not power up. Since then I've never had the time to investigate
further. Includes the following accessories:
3x barcode readers
5? battery packs
2x battery cases
2x AC adapters (I did test that the AC adapter works at least)
1x RS232 data transfer unit
3x tubes of magstripe material
The unit has 3 expansion slots, with two of them filled (barcode and
RS232 support I believe). Plus you get the manuals, some additional
random cords, and some weird unrelated device which came in the same
box.
2) Epson Actionprinter 2500 line printer with 1 full box of line
printer paper (both come as a set, no exceptions). Standard centronics
parallel interface (25pin). Ribbon has some limited life left in it
yet, but really needs to be replaced. In case you didn't know, chicks
dig line printer art hanging from the walls of your apartment (And
girls, guys appreciate it too). Get it while it's hot!
3) Microsolutions Backpack hard drive with 25pin parallel port
interface. Never tested, no idea on capacity.
4) External SCSI attached 3.5" floppy drive. Enclosure could be
repurposed, perfect for your SGI collection in the back corner.
5) Zenith XT number pad (pre-PS2) - it's dying to talk to your arduino.
6) $10 - Netgear HPNA 10/100 home phone network hub. Requires HPNA/
phoneline network cards to work, 10Mb over phone lines, 100Mb uplink.
The cool thing about HPNA is the protocol is designed to be very
resilient, I've seen people demonstraight network connections over wet
papertowels with HPNA gear, lots of out-of-the-box uses for this device.
8) Compaq luggable 286. Two 5.25" drives, modem (speed unknown), and
what appears to be a 25pin lpt card. HardCard internal hard drive (20
or 40MB, I don't recall) runs DOS 3.3?, a "tad" customized for a
hacking contest I tried to use it in a few years ago. I seem to
remember that the keyboard has a few keys that don't work, I can show
you a workaround if you are interested. If no one takes this home I'll
bring it in to the hackerspace and let people break out their old-
school DOS skills and try to get "root" on it.
9) 15" Gateway EV500 monitor, probably does at least 1024x768
10) 15" IBM monitor 8511-001, fixed frequency, it's either 800x600 or
1024x768
11) 15" NEC MultiSync 3FGx monitor, does at least 1024x768 or better.
Power button needs some work, but otherwise it's been a workhorse.
12) 15" Goldstar monitor, my very first display. This unit turned very
yellow while hibernating in the closet.
13) 15" Packard Bell monitor, no idea where this came from.
14) 17" LCD, needs some work. When power is plugged in, power buttom
flashes green for a split second every 5 seconds or so. I tore it open
to make sure I wasn't giving away an easy fix, nothing obviously blown
inside, but possibly still an easy fix in the right hands. If not, it
would still make a nifty light-table or x-ray display.
15) Dilbert original boxed software for your Palm
16) Two leather PDA travel holsters, crafted from fine corinthian
leather. One large, one small.
17) A largish IBM branded ESD safe container, with ESD snap on
outside. Keep those PCI cards safe!
19) Kenwood TR-7800/7850 VHF tranceiver service manual
20) SAMS The Internet Unleashed - Quote from the front of the book:
"Everything you need to master the Internet!" What more can I say?
21) IBM MoST Service CD's - A complete copy of every piece of IBM
documentation for all hardware still supported as of 2000 (PC's, POS,
RS6000, AS400, S390 mainframes, printers, you name it). The problem
is, you have to index it yourself. CD's organized by machine series,
but otherwise no useful identifying marks in the file names.
Orignially came with a Lotus Notes database as an index, I don't have
that. I believe there is firmware on this set too.
23) Central Data model ST-1002+ SCSI terminal server, includes power
supply and instruction pamplet.
24) Gravis PS2 style game pad - MIDI/gameport interface
25) SOYO TechAID PCI diagnostic card - insert into PCI slot and BIOS
post codes can be displayed, with original packaging and
documentation. You get a box of 72 and 30 pin SIMMS along with this one.
26) Conner 4mm DAT - installed in an HP external SCSI enclosure marked
as "SureStore DAT24". Includes SCSI terminator.
27) Abekas A52c video editing control console - Joystick+fader bar,
keyboard input, and LCD display - requires rest of unit to operate,
great arduino interface project!
28) LinkSys/Cisco 802.11b USB WiFi card - possibly defective, I've
never gotten it to work. Powers up and has lights.
29) TI-99 with software
30) IBM PCMCIA 14.4 data/fax modem
31) $40 - 750W Vector DC to AC inverter- minor modification to the
front panel, otherwise in excellent condition.
32) Panasonic Data Partner - handheld DOS system with touch screen.
Paper overlay shows virtual keyboard map on screen. Very cool device,
yours free!
33) Lucent 56K pci modem
34) DC2080 backup tapes, several available
35) Altimiter to 15k feet
36) Empty IBM ThinkPad shell with keyboard - perfect for pranking your
friends and family (Oh noes, I dropped it down the stairs!)
37) Sony laptop speakers, separate into two speakers
38) Xircom PE2-10B2 parallel port ethernet card - great way to
bootstrap that old laptop over the network.
39) PC MODS Window Kit - window is approximately 8"x11", complete with
gasket mounting hardware
40) 8bit ISA breadboard
41) Compaq PCMCIA floppy drive, has PCMCIA card built in
Thanks,
