Has anyone noticed the large number of KIM-1s for sale on eBay? Five of them sold in December 2023 alone and I see two more up for sale.

Fiber to 9011 / 9036
by Martin A. Flynn 31 Dec '23

31 Dec '23

Ken & myself were on site today for a few hours, the fiber to 9011 and 9036 is active, equipment installation in 9011 pending (no access) , unsure if VCF installed the 9036 equipment, or if it's still needed. Had to use a fiber pair from 9010 to support 9011 as it was not part of the original project scope. Happy New Year... Martin

Needed: 360k half height drive or two.
by Dave Shevett 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

Anyone got 1-2? I'm setting up a machine specifically to create floppies for my DEC hardware and others - doing this with a 1.2meg drive (which I have) is quite hard to get aligned properly. Happy to pay shipping or we can do VintageExpress. ebay is asking between $100 and $200 per drive, which seems... hefty. -d -- Dave Shevett shevett(a)pobox.com
