You don't need to know what happened exactly but the fallout is that a lot of space needs to be made and pretty fast.

The undisclosed situation here has further gone sour. :(

Just get in your car and get over here. Truck, trailer, hatchback, roof rack...whatever.

Just get this stuff out of my house. It all has to go. From thousands of floppy disks to an R3K Indigo signed by Gavin Blair.

If this is some sort of sick methof of persuading me that this was an irrational decision I am neither impressed or amused.
After this thread started circulating elsewhere I suddenly started to get people calling me on my private phone number. I have never posted this outside of a private message so now I got people tugging at me from all sides asking if I have specific systems and others saying that I shouldn't do this and others asking if I'm depressed and/or am off my medication.
Okay then. Fine. You blew it and you win. I'll hold onto my damn stuff and you lost your chance.

I have the lower model 850 and the only real difference is the screen is smaller and the CPU 66mhz slower.

Or they hire low-wage workers, strip and separate the systems and make their money back in the going price for bare steel, wire and PCB.
I speak this from experience, unfortunately. :?

Sorry. We're not buying steel or pcb's these days. Your finance sector has decimated the people who bought stuff and along with it, the entire middle-class economy. All those racks aren't worth $500 for scrap today.

Company policy didn't have us shipping overseas. PCB's and precious metals all went to a smelter in Kjaer's neck of the woods and bulk steel and copper went to a yard five blocks away.

I found a guy selling 2x IDE cdrom drives and 1200 (yes twelve hundred) baud modems for like $98. And people were buying them! I even sent an email to the seller asking how he arrived at these prices. The guy said his job was just to list the items for his boss who sets the prices. It seems eBay is no longer a buyers market for used items. Its only good if you're selling.

One of the reasons I got fired from my job.
I was paid sub-minimum wage to put prices up for "what you thing is good", then get either yelled at by the boss for such a low selling price or yelled at for listing items that never sell. :(

I will again strongly encourage you to give up AFTER you try a new battery. I seem to be the only guy who had a totally dead R3K Indigo until the battery was replaced.

I've had this thing kicking around for a while. Over time I gathered up some twinax terminals here and a few lengths of twinax cable there and now again I'm curious what exactly can be done here. Kjaer's being tight lipped on me. It's either because I'm insane to fiddle with twainx while lacking ANY AS/400 gear...or I'm plain insane to begin with. :mrgreen:

That however is my question. While this is just a multistation twinax terminal controller the main system interface is from what I read an RS-232 (x.21 and x.25 compatible) port that talks in EBCDIC.
Is this REALLY only compatible with OS/400 and I series? Nothing from AIX? Not even from Linux?

A serial communications device that only works with one lump of software. No alternatives and no open-source projects.


....But okay, I'll take your word.

There's so much snake oil going on here. I wonder if it's profitable to buy one simply to be part of the payout from an upcoming lawsuit.

From what I read up it's just two or three caps a switch and the voltage regulator to drive the LED.
Really all you are getting is a plug-in starting capacitor.
