[comp.sys.hp] HP 370 forsale

ruck@reef.cis.ufl.edu (John Ruckstuhl) (11/28/90)

We are trying to dispose of some HP equipment.  Some restrictions apply
to our transactions, so we cannot sell it directly, however, we can
trade.  We would be very interested in gaining some Sun SPARCstation
equipment.  Since we are currently not using the HP equipment, we are
willing to accept an unfair trade.  Perhaps we can accept such a
significant loss that a trader could purchase Sun equipment, then trade
with us to his advantage.

In addition, would some readers who are familiar with market prices for
used HP workstation equipment please give approximate values for the
hardware?

    HP 9000/370
    HP 98752A  big (19"?) high-res color head
    HP 7959S  disk drive (250 Mbyte? df -t shows 495324 total blocks)
    HP 9145A  32 track cartridge tape drive
    HP 9122C  diskette drive (one 3.5" drive)

    HP-UX 7.0 (If there's a newer revision available, we could probably 
    pick it up before trading).
    HP EE DesignCenter software (likewise)

    Full HP docs (about 12 feet of bookshelf -- HP-UX, X Windows, & 
    DesignCenter)

Thank you for your comments.
Best Regards,
ruck.

Interesting, John, that you are giving away the CIS department's
equipment.  Is this what you really mean to be doing?

I really mean to dispose of some HP equipment.  The equipment does 
belong to University of Florida.  Dr Fred Taylor, my advisor and member
of faculty of CS Dept and EE Dept has the authority to approve the
disposal (within certain guidelines).

I post for the benefit of those who might be concerned about the
legitimacy of my offer after seeing Brian's query.

Best Regards,
ruck.
