Sounds quite similar to some of the older 3Com kit, such as the Netbuilder. I've not seen much old Bay Networks equipment, but if it's like the Netbuilder, then it was a modular device into which you could put various interfaces (on the Netbuilders, each has it's own processor, and the main board is used to provide management facilites). Mine has FDDI, 10baseFL, a couple of AUIs and BNCs for 10base2. It boots from a 4MB 3.5" ED floppy, and I use it as a router (depending on what you put in, it can be a repeater, bridge, or router). > Bay have since been bought by another companym which in turn has been bought > by yet another, which made finding information about it quite impossible.

Virtually no chance of finding such in a charity shop - much better chance at a boot fair (still not brilliant, but I tend to see Acorn stuff (Beeb/Master/Electron) at about 1 sale in 3 - Spectrums, Amigas, and STs are more common. Macs used never to be found, but I have seen quite a few recently. If you have use of a car I can let you know the locations of 4 or 5 big boot fairs in Essex. Get up early and you should be able to go round that many in a morning (most of them finish around midday). Andy

by cbhargava＠hotmail.com

You can see http://www.bhargavaz.net/nvram/nvram.html Thanks +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hi all! Just curious, but are are the prices of these Sun NVRAM timer chips these days? I am looking for a replacement for the old SG Thompson M48T02 chip. Here in France they are on the order of $45-50!! What has happened to last year's $20-28 ? Are the Dallas chips identical to the ST ones, as concerns a Sun? --Ralph -- Dr. Ralph P. Sobek Disclaimer: The above ruminations are my own.

Hungarian minis

by optimus＠canit.se

My, this is certainly interesting, Hungary produced minis (mainly DEC clones, but developments of their own as well) for twenty years: http://www.telnet.hu/hamster/tpa/e_index.html I particularly recommend that you have a look at the Quadro, it is such a beaut! -- En ligne avec Thor 2.6a. I installed 7.6.1 on my Color Classic too. It has 6mb ram now, and no FPU yet. Things really slowed down when I installed the Appearance extention and control panel. But now the GUI is OS8ish! ;) That little creep is so cute, I'll probably leave instructions to have it made my urn. It'll hold my ashes, and still continue to function as a computer ;) iVan
