If you are not in a hurry
You can choose betweeen a Kaypro II (5.25"Floppy)
or a Grundy (Harddisk and 8" Floppy based)
The Grundy comes with loads of software (i.e ZCPR3)
and documentation. The Grundy system is build in some
kinda DEC-towercase cause the original DESK-system
(not desktop that is ..) was too lumpy. I didn't use these
systems for a couple of years but they should be OK.
I'm going from the Netherlands (Noordwijk) to France
around 20 Sept.2002........

Anybody have a suggestion for locating some kind of system based
on the Nat Semi 32k family? At this stage the only preference I'd
state is that it be a vaguely "open" platform (e.g. CompuPro's old
32016 S-100 board - I'd love a system built around one of these)
or run some flavor of Unix (a la Nat Semi's Genix boxes or the
Tektronix workstations).
I followed Bruce Culbertson's 32016 design way back when, and of
course Dave Rand et alia's pc532 board. I even have a 32k design
kit from Nat Semi around here somewhere, but never got started on
my ambitious plans of building something from Bruce's design.
Suggestions or even just reminiscences would be welcome.
Thanks,
--Steve.

You know the knuckle trick, right? (Punch someone until they tell you? No,
no..)
Make fists, fingers away from you and thumbs tucked under fingers. Put
hands together, index fingers touching along their (curved) length. Now
count knuckles and gaps between knuckles, leaving out the gap between
hands. Like this:
Left pinkie knuckle - up, 31 days, January.
Space - down, 28(9) days, February.
Left ring finger knuckle - up, 31 days, March.
Space - down, 30 days, April
....
Left index finger knuckle - up, 31 days, July.
Right index finger knuckle - up again, 31 days, August
space on right hand - down, 30 days, September
Right big finger knuckle - up, 31 days, October
.....

If you are going System 6 to Dialup, you should have no problems. You
just need MacTCP and a PPP client (I believe there is one available as
part of a MacTCP bundle, if not I believe FreePPP is S6 compat.)
The 2nd machine to act as a MacIP router was only if you are doing TCP/IP
over AppleTalk, which isn't needed if you have either an ethernet card,
or are going thru a dialup modem connected directly to the S6 mac.

Just occurred to me that there might be another answer, though it may not
be what you had in mind...
Bruce Culbertson ported Minix to his own 32016-based design, then to the
PC532. This was before NetBSD, or even 386BSD - heck, Bruce had probably
started the port before the Net 2 release...
I'd thought I'd found a copy at ftp.funet.fi, but it turned out just to
be a SCSI driver and a utility to talk to his ROM. I'm groveling through
old NetBSD/pc532 postings looking for clues, and will likely contact some
of those folks if I don't find anything.
No idea what it might take to port NetBSD to the ICM-3216. But if someone
were to give me one... Well shucks, had to try. ;^)

Does anyone here still use their old (say pre-1990) Macintosh as a regular
practice?
