My small collection of PC's and a few unix boxes

[paul]

I haven't posted or even visited here in a long time, but the board seems to have picked up a bit since then. So, just for the record here's my collection as it stands:

* IBM PC and IBM AT
* Screenshots of GeoWorks, an early PC GUI
* My experiences with DOS-based AutoCAD for Mechanical Design
* UNIX workstation collection: HP 735, DECstation, Sun IPC, Sun Ultra1

Hi Paul,

Good to see a fellow NZ'der on here. I've just had an enjoyable browse through your site. Nice IBMs.

I hope to own an original AT one of these days too.

Well, I had to prune down my collection for shipping here and that resulted in having to donate a type-1 AT in perfect condition to a small museum in Orange County, CA. Wish I had kept it now. It's always handy to have two to help with troubleshooting.

I'm just glad 10 years ago I had the foresight to start collecting these things while they were still available. Now these have become my pride and joy.

Every once in a while an IBM shows up on TradeMe but of course physical condition can be variable.

Very nice collection and website. I like the section on the HP 735 and DOS Autocad.

very nice, I like the HP.. but I don't want to give in to start collecting 9000 series :)

Paul, I notice you have an Intel Aboveboard- would you have any drivers for that?
I just acquired one, with 8 mb max (but two on it). It has no jumpers.
PM me pls.

Yes, nice site indeed.

I have the Creator version of the Ultra 1 along with the 20 inch monitor, keyboard, mouse, internal CD and HD and an external HD and DAT.

Couldn't pass it up for free :)

Since then I've also acquired a Sparc 4 and Sparc 5 (just the boxes, no accessories. Good thing they all take the same peripherals)

Really nice website you have there, Paul.
Awesome pictures!
Good collection :)

No worries, he's got it.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments! It's nice to share this stuff with people who can understand and appreciate these old machines.
