[rescue] Need to get rid of my sun collection

[Robert Reif]

I have a few spare sun 9u VME cpu and memory boards. At least one is 
sun4 and the rest are sun4m.  I have a few SMD disk boards. Some of the 
cpus boards are dead. They didn't last long with sm85s.

I have a few 6u and one 9u VME aftermarket cpu boards.  I think most 
were made by Force. I think I might also have a 9u aftermarket memory 
board.  I haven't touched them in over 20 years so I'm kind of fuzzy 
about what I have. I have a lot of mbus modules from sun and ross. I 
have at least one ipx with a weitek cpu.

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 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.
