I was a student at HillcrestHighSchool but now attend Waikato University doing ComputerScience (BCMS).
I have semi-recently developed an interest in old RISC machines (DEC, SunMicrosystems, SGI, etc) and am now trying to get my hands on any parts, software or documentation for such systems. I have also recently been experimenting with VMS but still need more hardware/media/documentation - especially smaller desktop sized systems.
I am currently after:
- VAX and Alpha stuff - systems, parts, manuals, media
- Any old unwanted SGI, Sun and IBM RS/6000 stuff
- a DEC MIPS system
- a PDP of some sort
I currently run on my network:
- Some generic boring PC machines and an old 68k apple or two
- An AlphaServer 1200 running OpenVMS 8.3 and Tru64 5.1B-4
- An AlphaServer 800 running OpenVMS 8.3
- Two MicroVAX 3500s (one with an upgraded CPU running VMS 7.3) and a DECserver 100
- a VAXstation 4000/60 also running VMS 7.3
- an IBM RS/6000 7248 currently running AIX 4.2
- an HP 9000 D380 running HPUX 10.20
- a SPARCstation IPC & IPX running OpenBSD acting as my monitor stand
- a SPARCstation 4 running Solaris 2.6
- an Ultra 1 running Debian with a differential SCSI SBus card
- an Ultra 1 Creator running Solaris 9 with a SunVideo? SBus video capture card
- an SGI Indy running IRIX 6.5, another one running IRIX 5.3 and a third running NetBSD 4.0
A sun Netra T1 running Debian will also join the network once some weird fan problem has been sorted out.
I can be contacted via MSN or GoogleTalk during the afternoons and weekends or via email at anytime.
