HP Workstation 3000 - some kind of PA CPU (Itanium predecessor?!), used to run HP/UX. I was intended to run NetBSD on it 15 years ago and that never happened. Now of unknown condition, haven’t been powered on for 15+ years.
PS/2 (Playstation 2) with Linux Kit. With 40G HDD (special model only works for the PS/2). May need particular CRT monitor to work (need some special signal for sync, no idea what that meant), I have an old Sony Trinitron that used to work with it. Can give that away together. Unknown condition, haven’t been powered on for 15+ years. Last was running Linux kernel 2.2 something.
HP Flatbed SCSI Scanner, should work well with old Macintosh. Unknown condition.
Fujitsu SCSI MO (Magneto-Optical) Drive with like 10-15 MO Discs (either 230MB/600MB), may work well with old Macintosh. Unknown condition.
Alpha Station from DEC (unknown model, unknown condition), only know it has an Alpha CPU. In theory it could run NT 3.1 if it still works. Unknown condition, never seen it in running condition.
An old SCSI Tape drive (unknown brand, unknown model). Unknown condition.
In anyone is interested, please free feel to reply.

Kelvin
I’m interested in the Sony Trinitron depending on size (I don’t have space for anything too big). Do you have the model number? Where would I need to pick up or ship from?
The Sony Trinitron is not a big one.
Must be either 14" or 16".
Let me dig it up from the garage and find out the model later.
I am living in Epping Sydney.
I wish I were local, as I’d love to pick up from you.
I realise it’s an inconvenience, but I do have a friend working on Salisbury Rd, Hornsby if you’re able to drop off. The PS/2 (Playstation 2) with Linux Kit, Fujitsu SCSI MO are interesting to me, if they’re still avaialble.
@orbii I am ok to drop the stuff off at Salisbury Rd Hornsby, just 25 mins driving away.
The PS/2 and the Fujitsu MO are yours now.
I am more than happy these stuff may have some further life.
Please give me contact of your friend and let’s arrange a time that I can drop the stuff off.
Do you want the Trinitron monitor for convenience?
At the time the PS/2 Linux Kit was released, there were instructions to build a special VGA connector for other brand monitor. Not sure if you can still find such instructions.
The Trinitron would just work, perhaps because of also Sony brand.
But I have no idea about the current condition of the monitor.
The Kit can connect to TV (I think, not 100% sure now). Gnome desktop (the last one used) just wouldn’t look nice at the TV resolution. A functional monitor would be more convenient.
And @itgrrl showed interest of the monitor, you guys may need to arbitrate.
I’ve sent you a message with details for drop-off.
I should be fine without the monitor - I have pin-out schematics for the VGA cable, and thankfully - an OSSC & 15khz-capable monitors that can sync on green. Appreciate the offer, though.
@orbii Do you want the PS/2 branded USB wired keyboard as well? I might still have the PS/2 branded mouse too (not 100% sure). They were parts of the linux kit.
The HP workstation is actually of model Visualize B1000.
Quite a beautiful looking machine, right?!
It is so sad if I have to throw it away as rubbish.
