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).

More links are always good. I was also planning to contact you
about putting any 8 relevant docs in my database pointing to your site
when you had them online.
Also about the DEC copying notice

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).

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?

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 ;)

hey do you have any ideas about using relays or some thing connected to a parallel or aerial port to control the power to an outlet, you know like a dimmer switch controlling motors ETC
if you have any thought or ideas I'd be glad to hear them.

Use 'wget' in a 'cron' or 'at' script.
