I need to obtain products from TOPS, a SUN subsidiary. They made Flashbox
and Flashcard, products used to interconnect PCs and Macs. These were used
around 1991. Do you have any suggestions?

I neglected to list this as available the other day.
Memorex-Telex 85PS server case. I think this is a standard Intel server
design, not ATX, and not AT, However. It is sort of in between looking
to me. I have also seen this case used by Zenith for one of there
Z-Servers. It'll hold about 8 3.5 inch hard drives. It also has a
floppy drive plus space for a tape or cd-rom. It is new. I have all
the paper work, cables, etc for it. It's free, but you pay shipping.
It's in my living room, and will be recycled if no one wants it.

I disagree entirely. The record high temperature in the history of the
Tampa Bay weather bureau is 97. It has never been any higher. We have never
had a 100 degree day. The hottest days in NJ are much hotter than the
hottest days here. We have more days above 90. The temperature here is 89,
90 or 91 every day. Every summer NJ has many days that are higher than the
record highs here.
Now as for the winters its just no contest at all.

Just got an HP 5381A frequency counter, and although it's basically
straightforward and simple, I was curious if anyone had a manual that they
could copy, scan, etc so I had it for future reference, or knew of somewhere
on the web that it might be stored in scanned or PDF format.

I went that same route. When I started collecting I went for diversity,
but I found I never have enough time, so now I concentrate on a small
range of systems I'm interested in, and even now I still wish I had
more time to play with what i've got.

NeXT shipped *A LOT* of machines, man. Now, granted, nearly none of
them went into households, but they installed (by practically giving
them away) huge numbers of them in american colleges, and a large
nameless US Gov't agency bought a VERY LARGE number of them.
I'm definitely not trying to be a NeXT-tribesman here...but NeXT's
products, and their relative success & failure, are some of the most
misunderstood things in the workstation industry.

AmigaDOS is different, but I don't know if it has all the features
I'd like. As far as I know, BeOS tries to be somewhat Unix compatible.

Please.
Try running the A/UX CMW version. Validated B1(+) level system. Also had a
secure X Window system (no cut-and-paste between windows with different
security labels, etc.). My first "real" job was with SecureWare, the
company that wrote it (and similar systems for HP, DEC, Tektronix, etc.).
And, yes, we wrote the C2 subsystem for SCO Unix.
People who want to run C2 & B-level systems almost never know what they are
getting into.

There was a story about the Computer Museum being donated a PDP-1 or a
PDP-6 or some such and then being dismantled and sold off as parts in the
gift shop. Now I've never heard the official story from someone who really
knows, but this item on Ebay sounds like it might be the evidence.
