Hi guys!

I rule :) I just took home some cool
gear which they had sitting at Recycled
Computers here in Indy. Included was
one HP PS/2->HIL Keybaord Converter
(which I rememebr someone on the list
saying they desperately needed.) They
didn't know what it was and it was
sitting with the ethernet transcievers.

Also I snageed not one but TWO PDP
11/53s. They are beat to hell and back--
were sitting in the rain and are in
rackmount cases. One has a PC-like
1/2-height 5.25" disk while the other
has the DEC full-height version. One
has two HDs and the other has none. I
think I may be able to have one complete
and nice system by the time I'm done.

I found some other cool things which I
didn't snag-- one looked like some kind
of print server. It was made by a 
company called 'Castell' out of Santa
Clara, CA and had two com ports, two
lpt ports and an ethernet port. Any
idea as to what that is? They had about
a half-dozen of 'em.

-Jon
