I'm a retired hardware/software engineer and I have a large sun 
collection I need to get rid of to make space because my recently 
handicapped daughter and my two grandchildren will be moving in with 
me.  I would like to donate it or give it to collectors.  I don't have 
the time to itemize it and sell it.

I have multiples of most sun4 and sun4m systems ranging from 690MP, 
670MP, 630MP, all the lunch boxes and pizza boxes. I have many boxes of 
spare VME boards, sbus and mbus modules and spare motherboards. I also 
have a few 64 bit systems. Probably around 50 systems total. I also have 
monitors, keyboards, mice, cables, external CD and tape drives including 
a 9 track, multiport serial, printer with spare cartridges, books, 
manuals and software.

I also have an Intel blue box development system from the 80's (minus 
keyboard), 2 data general 8 inch rack mount SMD hard drives, a Kaypro 
computer and a lot of other miscellaneous stuff.

I also have a lot of hardware data books from the late 70's, 80s, and 
90s.  These will go in the trash if no one is interested.

All this has been sitting untouched for over 20 years.  I planned to 
play with it again when I retired but that never happened.

I'm in the process of moving some of the stuff to a storage unit.

I also have an sgi collection and a large CompuPro S-100 collection that 
I might be willing to sell in the future.

I gave Dave McGuire my small DEC collection about 20 years ago when he 
lived in Florida.
