I figured I'd offer here before I tried Craigslist, as they're things of
potential interest to Unix geeks.
-Samsung ML-1210 laser printer. Linux-compatible, USB or parallel. It has a
feed problem, where it may take several (as in 5-6) cycles of "fail to feed,
pull the paper out, reinsert the paper, let it try again" to pull a page
through. Probably under 1500 pages on it, still on the original starter cartridge,
but probably not for much longer.
Also I have two boxes I picked up which, according to the label, have
remanufactured cartridges for this printer. I can't tell if these are full, empty,
or what.
If you have another ML-1210 and need spare parts, or think you can fix the
pickup, enjoy.

I'm replacing it with a used LaserJet 5 which dims the lights when you power
it on and sounds like the end of the world when you dare to actually print...
wait, are those problems? :D
-Plastic shell from a SGI Iris Indigo. I've been using it as a footrest.
Might make a cool cabinet or case mod project, or if you have an Indigo with a
damaged shell. This one does have the typical branding of an ASU surplus
product-- crayon marks and asset tag. I've been experimenting with removing the
crayon marks on other ex-surplus goods with pencil eraser... results were good,
except the abrasion can sometimes clean up patches to the point where they're
lighter than the surrounding plastic.
-C.Itoh CIT-101 dumb terminal. Supposedly a VT100-alike; at one point I had
it hooked to a port and displaying top... like one of those 4x20 LCDs but
better.
-DEC VAXStation 3100. No cables, no peripherals, no nothing.
I suspect this could work with the dumb terminal, but 1) I have no way to
build an OS install on it, unless Minix is now available for VAX and 2) I'd need
to assemble a cable and those damn DEC plugs are nonstandard.
Configuration: One floppy drive, two of the 100Mb SCSI discs, a "4M memory
expansion card" and an "8 planes graphics card".
When powered up, the rear-diagnostics lights flash and settle at 7, 5, 4 on.
Please email me directly, don't clog the list. :)
