Subject: Lots of free computer equipment in NJ - most of it _large_

  Time for that good old spring cleaning (a little early, though).

  I have the following equipment available immediately, all for *FREE*. All
of it is located in Jersey City, NJ. All of it is in working condition to
the best of my knowledge, except where noted. Unless you want to pay real
money up front, I cannot perform any packing or shipping of this equipment
- in other words, if you want it, you come here and get it using suitable
transportation. If you decide you want an item, a) send electronic mail to
make sure it is still available. b) Set up a mutually convenient time for
you to pick it up. c) come and get it. If you fail to pick it up, we will
(at our discretion) drop it in our dumpster or offer it to another party.
I will _not_ take "reservations" for an item someone else has reserved by
proceeding through step "b" above.

  If you have questions about the equipment or what I meant above, send
electronic mail. Do not call - phone calls will be either rudely rejected
or ignored (the last time I tried to give away a 780 I had 50 clueless
newbies call me and ask if it would fit in a 1-bedroom apartment, etc.).

  I will not remove individual options from any of the listed items. If you
need some piece, you get to take the whole thing. We will cooperate fully
with the authorities to determine who performed any illegal dumping, so don't
drop the parts you don't want in the cemetary down the street (yup, that
happened last time too).

  Here is the list:

o 24 cartons of pin-feed lineprinter paper, 12"w x 8.5" high. White paper. I
  don't know if it's perfed or not.

o 20 RK07 disk packs in boxes. Some -EF, the rest are -DC. Some have older
  RSTS/E distributions (V7.0 - V9.x). *

o 19 RK07 disk packs not in boxes. Some -EF, the rest are -DC. Some have older
  RSTS/E distributions (V7.0 - V9.x). *

o 44 RM05/CDC 9766 disk packs - no boxes. *

o 5 new RK07 absolute filters in boxes.

o Many Massbus cables. Mostly 25', some shorter.

o 1 MK11 memory cabinet for an 11/70. Condition/contents unknown.

o 2 VAX-11/785 systems with Unibus expansion cabinets.

o 5 RA60 disk drives in 2 3-high cabinets. 2 drives currently working, 1 drive
  is head crashed, 2 condition unknown. Must be removed as a lot.

o 6 RA60 disk packs. *

o 1 H960 cabinet with Anritsu 800/1600 BPI tape drive (45 IPS) with Unibus TM
  controller. Rack also includes a BA11 expansion box.

o 3 RM05's, 2 Massbus adapters. Condition unknown.

o 3 LP25/B300 printers. Parts missing - useful only as spare parts.

o 2 TU77 tape drives in cabinets (800/1600 BPI, 125 IPS, Massbus interface).

o 4 Datasouth DS180 printers with several boxes of ribbons. Condition unknown.

o 1 DSD880 RX02 subsystem for Unibus (with controller). Condition unknown, but
  believed to be working.

o Various 11/780 or 11/785 power supplies.

o 2 RK711 RK07 controllers, new in sealed Digital boxes.

o 1 RK07 disk drive and cabinet.

o 1 large-box PDP-11/24, no memory.

o 1 Sony SMC-70 computer system (Z-80 based) with various options.

* Note: If you take any of the magnetic media, you will be required to sign
a document stating that you agree to fully initialize them before use; that
you will not attempt to read any information currently on them; and that you
will impose identical conditions on anyone you transfer the media to. This
will need to be signed by an officer of the corporation if you are a business
or by you if you are taking the items as an individual.
