<body><div>Extract of my comments and others from IRC ...<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>14:51 <dd> <TRS-80> should keep one labtam<br></div>
<div>14:51 <dd> <frekk> We haven't sorted through the VTs yet, so some of those will need to be relabelled according to whether or not they work and how many we need<br></div>
<div>14:51 <dd> <frekk> (or want)<br></div>
<div>14:51 <dd> <TRS-80> I will keep morwong, I owe someone a zangband savefile<br></div>
<div>14:51 <dd> <Beowulf> @TRS-80 labtam?<br></div>
<div>14:51 <dd> <TRS-80> shit I can't remember the root pw, hope my key works<br></div>
<div>14:52 <dd> <TRS-80> 023 scully<br></div>
<div>14:52 <dd> <TRS-80> an X terminal<br></div>
<div>14:52 <dd> <Beowulf> Wow for some reason I was reading that as Lastam and didn't put that together<br></div>
<div>14:53 <dd> <TRS-80> bob, nick: is 049 a keep?<br></div>
<div>14:53 <dd> <Beowulf> I am personally quite amused by 048, the LV-ROM player that is labelled as being property of the BBC<br></div>
<div>14:54 <dd> <frekk> +1 for keeping 049, it is probably the oldest x86 system we own (assuming it works, if not then not worth keeping)<br></div>
<div>14:56 <dd> <Beowulf> I miss the days when computers had power keys... I should mod that in to my workstation<br></div>
<div>15:01 <bob> @TRS-80 if it's not being kept I was going to jump on that one<br></div>
<div>15:03 <bob> can we keep 040 for the ARM2 please<br></div>
<div>15:03 <bob> I know it's 100V but I think we have a transformer in the coke parts/spares box<br></div>
<div>15:06 <mtearle> My notes ...<br></div>
<div>15:07 <mtearle> 007 keep as reference machine of that architecture... perhaps get it installed and powered up?<br></div>
<div>15:08 <mtearle> Nick: can you ferret away 11/12/13 away for me ... they do FXO/FXS and I was wanting to set them up to handle the UCC phone at one point ...<br></div>
<div>15:08 <mtearle> 17 can go .. it was eWaste out of a physics skip long ago<br></div>
<div>15:09 <bob> better get in quick before the UCC phone gets done away with<br></div>
<div>15:09 <mtearle> bob: hah, yes<br></div>
<div>15:09 <bob> 007 I don't think we should keep - itanium as an achitecture is dead, and wasn't particularly novel<br></div>
<div>15:09 <mtearle> 14: rip the PCMCIA wireless card out of it and keep that, the AP can probably be chucked<br></div>
<div>15:09 <bob> the machine is installed and works, but it never got used<br></div>
<div>15:10 <mtearle> 23 keep or offer to ACMS. Labtam were an Australian company so interesting in terms of Australian IT history<br></div>
<div>15:11 <mtearle> 22 - I would drop a line to Fryers. He had an Apollo fetish<br></div>
<div>15:12 <mtearle> Nick: 25/26 - I'm happy to relieve UCC of<br></div>
<div>15:13 <mtearle> 44: Keep, example of a DEC MIPS machine, suggest installing NetBSD onto it ...<br></div>
<div>15:14 <mtearle> 47: keep ... old morwong ... does it still work?<br></div>
<div>15:14 <mtearle> 43: Get Reaps to drag that back to Physics as it is theirs ...<br></div>
<div>15:15 <mtearle> 40: 110V SCSI chassis ... I think it can go<br></div>
<div>15:16 <mtearle> 32-34 - representative SPARC machines .. keep<br></div>
<div>15:17 <mtearle> 48: offer online to folk<br></div>
<div>15:17 <dd> <Beowulf> Thanks for all the great feedback, but it is going to be lost if it is in the main channel. I am going to quickly make a channel for discussing this stuff. Please copy anything important there so we can go through it on the day.<br></div>
<div>15:17 <dd> <Beowulf> Oh wait... it wont mirror to IRC will it... blast<br></div>
<div>15:17 <mtearle> 49: as noted, take photos of all of the outside, and inside. I think it can go ...<br></div>
<div>15:18 <mtearle> 50 - no idea of the story ...<br></div>
<div>15:18 <dd> <Beowulf> Who runs the bot again? How hard is it to mirror a new channel?<br></div>
<div>15:18 <mtearle> BeoWulf: happy to cut and paste and email?<br></div>
<div>15:18 <mtearle> Address?<br></div>
<div>15:18 <dd> <Beowulf> If you could send it as a reply to felix's original email to tech@ that is probably best<br></div>
<div>15:19 <dd> <Beowulf> then we have the mailman archives if nothing else<br></div>
<div>15:19 <dd> <Beowulf> re: 043, I happen to know that the radio telescope this thing was designed to steer has been relocated to gingin, so I very much doubt physics care about it in the slightest<br></div>
