I had some idea of trying to get money for an HP 41-CX a while back,
but on balance I think it's best to just go to someone who might be
interested in fixing it up and valuing it for what it is.
So - FTGH, just the cost of shipping (photo link below still valid)

I've been trying to fixup NetBSD to build usable X servers from up to

on list had any machines to hand on which they might be willing to
test?

I had some extra A4 pages with a VAXstation 2000 manual which covered
a preview PK2K kit for VMS, bootloader and ROM to allow use of the
VAXstation 2000 SCSI controller for more than just tapes.

I have acquired a tiny slice of Orange Wall, and wondered if anyone would
be interested - preference for anyone who is setup to scan and upload the
missing bits to bitsavers or similar :)

looking at how it handled different a.out MOP files, specifically
where the files may be little endian
For non MID zero files its easy enough, but little endian MID 0

The gcc VAX backend is in danger of being dropped if it doesn't get
converted from the older cc0 to the newer MODE_CC implementation.

I've come into possession of an HP 41-CX calculator - unfortunately it
appears to have had batteries left in it which have left corrosion on
the internal contacts.

NetBSD still has code for various interesting^W older network
protocols such as ARCNET, Token Ring, FDDI, HIPPI, and Strip.
The code is quite old and the drivers are not MP safe, so its being
proposed that the code be dropped, with the understanding that if
anyone wanted to step forward to update
While tidying up I've found a few Irman infrared to serial dongles

they connect via a 9 pin serial plug and then convert any consumer
remote IR signals they receive into serial.
No additional power required, good
