Does anyone have a Xylogics 753 VMEbus SMD controller (the 6U size, not the
9U) and/or any 5.25" SMD drives they want to get rid of? I'm doing some
NetBSD porting, and they'd help tons in one of my twisted little
experiments.

I've been thnking of this in a bit wider context.
With some of the changes happening on the Internet, it's
not quite as friendly as it used to be. An alternative
network seems like a good solution, and uucp as been
with us for a long time. We could even host rogue USENET
newsgroups.

...has been claimed.
Thanks to everyone who was willing to give this thing a good home :-)
Cheers,
Chris.

Miscrosoft GW-BASIC User's Guide and User's Reference for Phoenix Computer,
softcover about 275 pages. 1986

BLAH! I want every last damn model of Apollo there is! Apart from the HP
9000's that just say Apollo on them anyway... I've stayed with one of
Apollo's founders and those computers are my dad's favorite of all time... I
especially want a DN10000 though..

A while back I popped up on the list wondering if someone was
missing a TI-99/4A that ended up on my doorstep. Since repeated
attempts to reach the shipper (including _sending the damn machine
back and having it get bounced back as undeliverable by the Canadian
post_) have been for naught, and since nobody has stepped forward to
claim that it's theirs, it's officially up for grabs. Included is
the machine, a collection of titles, two of the world's smallest
joysticks (thumbsticks?) and the incredibly crappy packaging material
and well-used box that the thing showed up in.
Well, actually, I might have to fix the packaging bits -- I'm not sure
anyone --even the USPS -- would accept this box.
Available for the cost of shipping. Contact me off list, please...
Cheers,
Chris.

No...Basic Network Utilities is what AT&T called it, starting long ago. At
the time UUCP became common, it *was* the basic network.

What kind of peripherals do you have? Did any of
your systems have the Apollo version of AutoCAD?

While I don't collect them I really liked the 320 I had. I think they are a
cute package. The 320s I had were used as technical documentation
workstations. They were plenty fast for this. I sold three to local
collectors.
I hate to think of the 400 & 6XXs that went through my hands. We bought lots
of them from Mentor Graphics about 10 years ago. I sold a lot of parts on the
secondary market.
One of the local scrappers (Portland, OR) has an Apollo 600 box that he told
me to offer to the list. It would have to be palletized to ship. It has no
keyboard, monitor or mouse. I can provide more information if anyone is
interested.
I have an Apollo 570 that I would like to part with. It is the intermediate
machine between the 660 line and the 3000 series (550, 570, 580 , etc.) It is
a large undercounter cabinet with a 19" monitor, mouse and keyboard. I
believe it is a 68020 machine with 1 1/2 meg of Ram. Again I can provide more
information if anyone is interested. It was running when put in storage a
couple of years ago.
It would have to be palletized for shipping, which I can do.
Please contact me at Whoagiii(a)aol.com. I have been busy enough it is
difficult to keep up with the list.
