Festivus Swap Meet Items Available
by Andrew Diller 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

I've done a clean out and will have a bunch of stuff for very cheap and for the free pile so make sure you stop by my table. P4 system, P1 system, even some very rare SGI Indigo RAM (2MB x 4) and a bunch of SGI ram for older VME boards. MacSE w/ 020 board, Mac Plus with 030 board, some se video boards. Plus tons of various ram and junk I'm clearing out. Indigo Ram looks like this: https://bukosek.si/hardware/collection/sgi-indigo/img/r3k/indigo_r3k_ram_st… I have some networking gear going into the free pile as well. I have a 7' full 19" Rack that is very nice and comes apart into 6 pieces- top, bottom and the four sides. Super easy to transport and move. That is a giveaway- but I'm not bringing it up unless someone will take it (otherwise it goes to the metal scrappers). If you will be at festivus and will take this rack (free) email me off list and it's yours. It will require a vehicle that can handle the 7 foot tall posts- so be aware. It goes together with just bolts. -andy
