I keep this page up to date with the interesting (to me) items I have obtained. This is primarily so I have an easy way to check model numbers etc of what I have. If you are a collector please take a look at the items I have listed under "trades/free/wanted".

Trades/Free/Wanted
Things I would like to go to a good home:
- DEC VR290. Seems to be working, unfortunately it is too big for my house. Awkward to carry and heavy, but a cool monitor.
VAXstation 3100 M38. It fails to get past POST due to a memory issue… Although the last time I turned it on, it didn't even print anything out on the console. I'd love to see this go to a good home and be repaired.
Things I would like to see in my home (happy to pay reasonable prices):
- MORE!! DEC PDP-11 (any model, probably LSI)
- DEC terminals, like a VT220 or a VT10x
- DEC VAX 11/750 (if only I had the space…)
Sun SPARCstation, a 5 or 10.RL02 cables and terminator- RL02 data cartridges / disk packs
Other Stuff
- I typed up a copy of The First Port of UNIX which you can checkout here.
- Interative map of classic computer collectors.
There are some PDP-11s which are remotely accessible:
- Magica.Update.UU.SE running RSX
- MissPiggy PDP11 at The Living Computer Museum
