Found an easy path to the info you need:
1. Access www.dell.com
2. Click on the SUPPORT wrench at the top of the home page.
3. Click on TROUBLESHOOT YOUR DELL SYSTEM
4. Now you will be prompted to HELP US IDENTIFY YOUR SYSTEM <or>
OR SELECT YOUR SYSTEM MODEL. Under SELECT YOUR SYSTEM MODEL
click on the last choice, All Other Product Lines.
5. Under All Other Product Lines, click on 80486.
6. Now you will see 80486 highlighted in black on the left of the
screen. On the right side click on the second choice from the top
which is 40XX/XE and you will finally be there.
The address is http://www.dell.com/support/tech/dta/4000XE/index.htm
By the way, the Dell 4066/XE is a great server, very reliable and well
built from my experience.

Been there, done that. I got driver files but nothing more. Will have to dig a
little further I guess....Nice machine though, but big enough to put a cushion
on use for a couch :-)

My girlfriend and I are hoping to go on holiday at the beginning of August,
and right now, it looks like Denver/Boulder will be our destination. So,
does anyone know of any good thrift shops/swapmeets/etc. in the area?
(And, off-topically, antique or teacher stores? Gotta keep the gf happy
too! 8^) Thanks!

Folks, here's something I found on the Boatanchors Swap List.
Wonder if they're ASR-33's? If so, they are of interest to us that collect
early DEC and Data General, etc. computers.
Of course, contact WA6GYD directly to rescue these -I'm just passing this
lead on....

Any chance someone could determine if there are any sig tapes among the
stack which aren't currently available from any of the pdp-11 archives
and make sure the archives get a copy? (Tim Shoppa?)

Simple... To differentiate it from the hordes of other technically
identical PC's available. If I had to choose between a standard PC-type
case and something like that (on a consumer level) I'd definitely go for
the oddball. Consider Bang and Olufsen stereos -- same thing.

Hmmm... Seems to me that two PC's stacked on top of each other is just
about a cube. So, why not a case that has two motherboards, with an
integral Monitor/kb/mouse switch...

There seems to be a guy who posts Amiga/Atari mice for sale pretty
regularly on the Antique Computers section of Haggle (or it may be either
Workstations or Other Computers); I think they sell for about $15. There's
also a woman (Brenda Watson?) who sells Atari mice; I bought one and it
seems fine. No connection, yada yada yada.

Nope, because I don't have the adapter that is required for

I don't know of any such disk packs (in fact, there is one combination,
I forget which, which will result in a volume spindle swedged into the
drive spindle -- making the drive so much worthless hardware)
However, TK50 and TK70 fit the bill... you can read TK50s on a TK70,
but not write them. Tapes written on a TK70 cannot be read on a TK50.
