FS: IEEE-488 cables + various PET stuff

[carlsson]

In case anyone needs one or two IEEE-488 cables, I have a small surplus to sell. Both card edge to GPIB (?) connector and cables with two of those.

I won't expect eBay prices, but on the other hand I won't expect anyone buying from me trying to make a good deal by selling it on eBay the next week. Usually this should go without saying, but one can never be too sure what kind of fish are lurking in the vintage computer waters.

Interested parties can send me a PM or email: anders.carlsson@sfks.se to discuss options, pricing and shipping costs.

I'm bumping this old topic to mention my inventory has been updated. What remains are the following:

3x PET to IEEE cables (+/- one cable, need to check my personal needs)
5x IEEE to IEEE cables (ditto)

Pricing depends on current exchange rate, expect somewhere around US$ 25-30 including worldwide postage for a cable.

I also have a few other spare parts I will give away for postage costs:

* Two empty cases from 3040 and 8050 floppy drives. Neither even has a power supply. Those probably are far too big and bulky to ship around, given they don't contain anything collectable. Might be nice to retrofit a modern PC inside?

* A handful of big folders with PET schematics etc. Several folders contain the same docs, and as far as I've found, most or all of the schematics already are scanned on Zimmers. However for anyone repairman who likes to work with papers, one of those folders might be nice. They are pretty heavy though so expect a big shipping quote.

I will try to update this list as I find more items, or anything is sold or donated. All responses by PM or email please.

Update 2010-12-12: The following items have been donated for the cost of shipping.

* Tested broken 3032 motherboard, displays only garbage even with known good ROMs + set of 65xx chips. Currently the board completely lacks ROMs and 65xx chips.

* Probably broken 4000/8000 motherboard, some 65xx chips soldered and the other missing

* Probably broken motherboard from a 3040 floppy drive, DOS 1. Lacks 6502 and 6522 but has other chips intact

* Two floppy drive mechs from 8250LP, untested as I prefer not to risk killing my working 8250LP drive (yes, I swapped around drives and controller boards before and killed a few drives due to a bad controller)

* A few PET 3000 and 8000 keyboards, may have keys missing and in worn condition

Would you have a spare keyboard for an 8296 and the power supply for one as well ?

cheers,

Lance

Hm. I gotta check what the 8296 keyboard looks like. I don't have any separate keyboards complete in casing, but I might have a 8000 series keyboard mechanism which you can replace (solder) the internal connector with a DB25. It won't look pretty but it would function.

Not sure about the power supply. I used to have one, and with a bit of luck one of my friends has a broken 8296 which he gladly lets go. I will look around and reply by PM.

I could use a card-edge to IEEE and an IEEE-IEEE cable actually!

You can always order new IEEE to IEEE from china (â,¬12,87, no delivery costs): click

You can always order new IEEE to IEEE from china...

Or you can order them from HSC Electronics in the Silicon Valley.  http://www.halted.com
