Time to let everything go.
Unfortunately, it's time for me to let my Nixdorf collection go. Where I live is designated a flood zone and the house has been flooded on several occasions, and there have already been a couple of near misses this year. If the water gets into the workshop (and it's been within less than 5mm last time) then everything will be destroyed.
The only other location I have is the garage to store everything, but that's not secure and everything will get damp and go rusty, so it's time to find a new home for everything.
So, if anybody is looking to own their own Nixdorf 8870 collection please get in touch.
Currently there is a M25 (populated and working; probably), an M25 chassis that needs a LOT of work, and a Micro 7.
A couple of terminals and an ND11 printer. Cabling, spares, manuals and tapes.
I very briefly powered on the M25 chassis yesterday and it got to a point of showing status 26 - VDU Does not reply so it looks like that may be working ok, but I have to say the disk drive sounded funny.
If we can come to an arrangement you will have to collect; I'm not boxing or pelleting this stuff up, as I don't think it will survive any rough handling. Remember some of this stuff is 30+ years old. Use the Contact Me option above to send me an Email.
Thanks,
Joe

Welcome to my 8870 Projects page
The aim of this site is to provide a place where I can document my on-going adventures with the Nixdorf 8870 mini-computer and host all the documentation and other related information I'm collecting.

Updated: 1st Jan 2016I'm slowly starting to amass a nice collection of Nixdorf and 8870 documentation and I intend for everything I get to be available here. Needless to say, it takes a while to hand scan a 200 page manual, but I'll get there in the end.
I'm always on the look out for related documentation, so if you have any please get in touch. I'll happily scan and return it to you if that's any help. Please don't just throw it away. |
