Oh put me down for a couple of Series 3s and serial links. They're
useful; was thinking about them just the other day. Used to know an
SGI dealer who kept one handy as the smallest serial terminal he could
find for setting up SGI boxes from the command line.

I do have a massive idler motor - as in it takes two people to even

I have heard that some guys have put a motor in the circuit just to

I haven't done any troubleshooting yet but checking the manuals on
Bitsavers tells me my US 3278s have ferroresonant transformers

It's compatible with an ordinary 9-pin D-sub, but with a shell that latches
onto ramps on the mating connector. Squeezing the shell releases the latch.

The DEC LSI-11, Western Digital WD16 (as used in the Alpha Micro
AM100), and Western Digital Pascal Microengine use variations of the
same chipset, called CP1600 for the LSI-11 and WD16, and WD9000 for
the Pacal Microengine.
The chipset consists of a control chip, a data path chip, and two to

I have one side panel for a DEC corporate cabinet. It should fit VAX-11/780
or similar cabinets.
It is in good shape. Anyone need one? It is in Stockholm, Sweden. Also has
some other parts for the cabinet, like wheels and other steel parts.

getting it for Eur 1.50 (approx $1.75).

find a magnifier to read it properly) and
