Subject: [rescue] WTB: Set of 711 multipak Disk array keys
Message-ID: <F2CA0D09-22A6-42A7-BEFE-92D69E4EB7A5@gmail.com>

Anyone have an extra 1 they would sell me ?  Don?t seem to be any on eBay at the moment (all the keys appear to be for servers?)

https://burn.net/syshbk/Devices/Disk_Options/DISKOPT_SPstg_MultiPk_5511.html

This is the 12 slot model, but I would guess all these are the same lock/key ?

Thanks.

Do you have a similar era server key to try? I'd bet they're all the same.
Keys like this were generally just for show, not for real security.

Ahh yeah, I have purchased from him before.  He is sitting on a mountain of stuff (lots of 32 bit/sun4m/mid-90s).  His prices are indeed $$$ (unreasonable in some cases) but his stuff has always worked so far.

I had a guy make a duplicate but the narrow slot (longways) is just a bit too narrow :(

how far off are we from having ai consume that picture and generate a

Can confirm that the keys are the same for all those units, and are same between 6-bay and 12-bay. That surprised the heck out of me back in the mid-90s, but was a (discovered( lifesaver after we lost a couple.

Hi all

So it's taken a fair bit of work but I've managed to repair the PSU on a sparcserver 1000e so it's now functional. This involved recapping quite a few electrolithics.

Now I've got to find a processor board. I do have the memory and SM81 CPU modules and the control board, but missing the 501-2668 system board.

If anyone has one spare / for sale / let me know. 

Cheers!

   Hi folks, I find myself in need of a CPU fan for a V100.  Would 
anyone happen to have one going spare?

               Thanks,

Got one from eBay and of course UPS shattered it (well the faceplate) :(

Been working on this thing this week.  I don?t claim to be a master CAD/design person, but this seems to line up pretty good.  Lots of digital caliper measurements and multiple prototypes.

Nicely done! That looks great. I love combining vintage computing and 3d printing.
