[rescue] divesting of many old systems

Rescuers,

I'm in the metro Detroit area and I have a lot of old systems I'm letting
go. I have everything from a Sunfire to some Ultrasparcs, to many sparcs,
Sun3s with monitors and disk drives, etc. I have a lot of other assorted
things. Most of the items are probably working, but some of them probably
aren't.

Is there any folks who would pick these up in Detroit or Flint, MI? What
would I have to post here? Just a hardware list? Or would more detail &
content be required? I'm thankful for any advice and I hope I can make
some folks happy with at least some of this stuff! If some of the items
are worth shipping, that might help as well.

Hello Nate,

Yes, absolutely, please generate some type of detailed list.

Wish you were closer to the south coast, where I could take advantage of your offer, but unfortunately, it is not to be.

Either way, thanks for trying to find good homes for your items and not just sending them to the scrap pile, where they might be
lost forever.

Im about 2.5 hours north of ya. Im willing to make the drive to make
sure they get saved. And can take some out to VCFMW in chicago next
month to get to some people I know that would appreciate it. More
sun is always good :) then again more vintage computers is always good
:)

I inadvertently replied to Nate directly, but I'd like to see the list
as well.

I'll be at VCFMW, and would be interested in Sun3 stuff, and perhaps an
ECL monitor for a Sun2 (I need to check and see what frame buffer is
really in there)

If a list shows up, then I can be more specific :-)

I have always desired a Sun 3 (a 3x 3/80 especially) but it's not
going to happen now - Northern Wisconsin and having just started a new
full time gig says I'm not going to get away for that kind of pickup,
alas. Just make sure it gets a good home, please.

I'm down in NC but would be interesting in any SBUS graphics cards like the Fujitsu AG-10e or similar. Dual Hypersparc Mbus cards would also be of interest. Also potentially an non sun Sparcs.
